Default Re: New 2007 PT Cruiser owner looking for exterior suggestions

I agree with Teahead completely. That is the first thing I did to my car. I got the big rims, then lowered it. Made a world of difference. Handles amazingly too because of all of the rubber on the road and the lower stance / less body roll. Even though it may not look like it, the PT has a surprisingly low center of gravity because there is no weight in the roof. people are often surprised to see me passing them on the inside of a turn 10-20 MPH faster than their sport car can take it! As for the Cal Cru thing... I hate you. Not really . But I went through SOOOOOOO much crap for my bumpers that I almost gave up. They were worth it though! I would recommend going with black rims staggered with a one inch difference between the back and front (like 18's and 19's) to give it a more aggressive stance. Your Pt could look good with rims that have a bit of silver detail in them to accent some of the chrome. I am dying to see the finished product because I really like the way you're going with it!
