I never thought I'd say this, but those wheels look too small on that 4 door.

I agree. I don't like the wheels.

The paint is very nice, though. :thumbup:

paint and clear ran me less than 300 dollars...my buddy works for zoresco and gets very good discounts if he buys material from them.

and the wheels are 15's, same as stock size...i like them cuz they keep my speedo acurate and are light weight. thanks for the compliments tho!
