        Your wheels are also reversed , so make sure the tire jockeys turn the wheel facing down on their machines .

                  Well cheap rims look great on cheap cars. I bet those wheels looked really nice on that Kia.

                  But one thing that most people do not know about buying wheels is that its not as simple as just picking out a style with a bolt pattern to match your car. (and not to preach to the choir but..) Unless you are getting a wheel that is the exact same size and has the exact same offset, you are going to affect the way that the car drives.

                    Indeed, but I tought when you changed wheels you wanted to affect the way the car drives, (improve it).

                    Not that i chose these, someone drove them to my door. ;)

                            Basically, if you are going for the euro-stretch look, and you dump the car on some undersized tires, you could make those wheels look good.

                                Maybe you are overlooking the fact that they are chickenshit 15 x 7 .

                                Not much choice for a smaller tire for thje stretch , a 195/45 would not cut it .
