little wheels with a low offset looks horrible unless you're slammed.

yea, with a wheel like that you have to tuck some what of the tire. Other than that car is on right track.

44k miles for $6300 is a good find. the car looks great, but I gotta agree with the others. you should slam it.

That price seems awfully low.......salvage title? Something's fishy.

What are "heat vents"?

Exaaaactly what I was thinking...I couldn't find an EM1 with under 100k for even $7,000. Looks great, keep it up.

yea its salvaged due to theft. bought it from a guy that buys cars from police auctions. hella paperwork to go through and didnt get it fully registered till 3 months after i bought it. i believe these are the h&r sports, the lower of the two.

and about the tucking, they can tuck if you buy camber kits and you will also need coilovers to make it look slammed. right now it rides perfect, no rubbing or scraping. 2.5 inch drop in front and 2.25 in the rear. plus b4 i bought new tires i used regular tires from the si wheels and i had MASSIVE rubbing even when going 25 mph on straight roads, so you can imagine freeways. so buying smaller tires relieved alot of stress for me. im not down to buy camber kits (expensive) or coilovers because of money and fear of having more stress if i lower it more and it rubbed the way it did when i had the old tires on

thanks for the "needing coilovers" comments. i had to seriosly talk myself out of getting them even though it would look sexy as hell. right now for me, peace of mind is more important, plus my breaks are getting worn so id be doing alot more breaking if the car was slammed
