New Wheels

[bigslim]

I had a set of Motegi DP6's on my old PT. They were in a "Hyper-Black" finish. I had to have them replaced before because the protective coating had peeled on them. Well, they are peeling again. I have had these wheels for almost two years. I went back today to the store I bought them at and we agreed to swapping them out again. This time I will be getting chrome ones. I think this will be so much better for the white color I have now. This along with the 1 1/2 drop in the front and 2 1/2 inch drop in the rear should be sweet.

Here is a picture of my old wheels.


Here are the new ones I will be getting.


Here is a photoshop of the wheels on my car.


Here is a photoshop of my car lowered.

Looking good. Nice wheels and I like the dropped look. That's great service for 2 yrs later.

Those pictures look sweet, BUT it will never look like those pictures unless you put airbags in your car. I have 18" and my car is lowered with springs the same height you just mentioned yet there is still a wheel gap. Still looks better than stock! Like your rims too. The 17" you are using will show even more of a wheel gap without airbags.

I know it won't look that extreme. One of the members here did that photoshop. I will never drop it that low. Not in this city. The 1 1/2 front, 2 1/2 rear drop will be enough. I had the springs but never got around to putting them on my old PT.

Yes...the photoshoped one is for fun, it don't reflect reality.I have also 18 inch weels and dropped suspensions but not so low

Your new wheels models looks fine too.
