It's been said before and it true. Wheels and Stance are everything. A car could be primered or freshly painted, but if it doesn't have nice wheels with the proper stance it doesn't have that 'Sic A$$' look. instead, it's just another car.

I love both of those. I got superspokes myself. But I was stuck between superspoke, whiplash and that last one which I suddenly forgot what it is called. I love all three of them and every picture I see of each makes me want one. I love the entire Rushforth line and now with the NewGen line coming out I have a second favorite. I know I sound like a hidden add for Driverz Inc and Rushforth but I like their wheels and Driverz Inc is great to deal with. Just my experience and taste.

do you have a 4" lip? and how much space do you have between the wheel and the inner fender?

I can barely get my fingers around the rear wheel when it is flat on the ground.
I went with the 5 spoke because I felt it suited the car much better.

Killer stance & wheel combo! I have the Eibach's on my 'lark now and want to bring the rear down but was hesitant to use the 3" springs...you solved that I think!

LiveWires look so much better on that car than the Whiplash. The polished lip and 5 spoke just bring the whole car together. Jon really knows what he is talking about as far as what looks good on what. Good choice and well done.
