Look pretty good to me...

But this probably should be in appearence/cosmetic.

You could have at least just added this to ur first post..

They looks pretty good but you are in desperate need of some disk brakes.

Which ones are those? Looks good

On the side note, I find it funny when people pronounce "5Zigen" as "five-zeegan" when it's really pronounced "go-gee-gan" (5 in Japanese is "Go" and "Z" pronounced in Japanese is "gee"...... I guess when you can speak it, it sounds funny to you when you hear others say it incorrectly )

Let me know when you here somebody besides yourself in America say "GoGeegan."

Altho I really don't know why you think Z is Gee when the g sounds are related to the k sounds yet the z sounds are related to the s sounds. *boggle*

Well I can only remeber my Japanese numbers to four, so that posed a problem for me, now I know.
As I remeber it, it goes. Ichi, nei, san, shi. Also I cant remeber how they are spelled either, give me a break I took liek two months of Japanese in 8th grade

Going to take Japanese when I get into college in August.

they are 17" gunmetal 5zigen super sixes.

yes my bumper fitment sucks. if you'd like to avoid this problem, stick with oem or stay away from extreme dimensions.

i have the center caps but i was in a hurry so i didnt bother putting them on. i dont really like how they look anyway.

my car is dropped. as far as i can right now without scraping every time i enter/exit my driveway. its on an eibach pro kit. tight 2 finger gap all the way around. sorry its not low enough for you.

thanks for the comments, good bad or indifferent.
