Your car looks amazing! Who knew 16" rims could look so good.

Thank you. Yeah, I am very happy with how the wheels work well with the body lines of the car aside from the fact that they are much lighter than stock wheels.

Thanks. Yeah I tried as best as I could to raise the muffler as much as possible. However, getting any closer than it is right caused the muffler to touch the base of the trunk (Spare tire well).

I like the XRS's, but damn learn to park

Though I'm not really feeling the wheels. Don't really like Motegi, I think dual bolt pattern is lame, and I think the stock rims look better. Though being lighter is definitely a plus.

And omg what happend to the passenger side pillar, huge dent!

Thanks. I modified it a little bit by putting a different tip and tucking the muffler in. It actually sounds a lot better now compared with the stock tip because it is quieter at low rpms and more torque down low and still has the usual Greddy growl at high rpms especially in lift between 6000 - 8400 rpm.

Thank you. I guess, looks wise it is subjective. I like the design of both. However, aside from the lighter weight of the wheels giving better throttle response and makes it quicker to rev up, they also add 1 inch on each side as well (16 x 7 as opposed to 16 x 6) so it brings more cornering stability, less body roll and a much aggressive stance due to add 1 inch and +35 offset.

Love it! Overlays look great! Mind if I add them to my Gallery ?
