Default New Wheels+ Lowering (56K Warning)
Well it is time now to show you all my car and to give me some feedback on it. it has been a long wait to get the rims but it was worth it.

They are not the best pics although ill get some hopefully tomorrow that are better.

Enjoy

I agree. I had clear front corner indicators (EB GT) on my EBII Fairmont Ghia. These really set it off.

looking hot, amazing what lowering does to an e-series model. Looks a whole lot tougher. Well done.

That looks good. Much before than it did in the "before" shot.
As others have said, definitely get some clear indicators for the front. It will set it off nicely

That looks tough as... and to think fantz could have just put them on his eb, and it would have made such a big difference to it. I bet he's spewing now seeing how good yours looks.
