Default wheels, pics

just got my front and rear bumper repainted, and lip refinished. now i'm looking at getting some new wheels. also thinking about the rear valence and sideskirts.

now...this is how my car stands.


looking at getting buddy club p1 in 16s and white or

Kosei K1 in 15s? if i do get 15s i think i need to go lower because it won't look right.
or maybe some volk te37 replicas....i dont have any pics of it on a black DC2....anyone got pics?

Clean car : )

This will probably get locked or moved though since it's more of an appearance cosmetic topic. In interest of keeping it semi-tech related I'm sure 15" Kosei wheels with the right tire should look fine. Something in the 195/50/15 range that will give you a taller sidewall.

The 16" Buddy Club P1's are a good choice as well IMO. I'd prefer them over the Kosei's.

yea cuz i ran my friends rota jmag 15inch with 195/50/15 and it looked really funny. seemed to sit very high, at least what i thought. i wanted to give it a good drop look. no finger gap is what i'm aiming for. so i'm trying to decide.

where do you guys get your buddy clubs?

thats funny. i have a black dc2 as well and was deciding between white buddy club p1s or kosei k1s. i got a great deal on koseis but theyre silver but imo they look better. i have 15s too and people always ask if theyre 16s. and im about as low as you maybe even a little bit higher and the 15s look fine. 15s will look fine in koseis, 16 will look good too.

I like how it looks now. But I think the kosei's would be a great replacement. I say get the 15's. It will look perfect.

hmmm thanks for the comment guys. i like how my wheels look now but only reason i'm thining new wheels is i'm going to need tires so i was thinkin of just getting some new wheels as well haha. my excuse to go get new rims. i have had the rims for over a year so yea. the pass side is also curbed badly so i wanted a cleaner set of rims. right now the way i'm sitting...the front barely has any finger gap and the rears has about one. with my front lip, i'm scraping whenever i go into driveways already unless i go super super slow. now the question that i have is this...if i go 15s and keep it the same height, would it mean by car will be actually sitting higher or lower. i'm guessing the car techinically would be lower cuz of the smaller diameter? not sure

i've seen some pics of other DC2 and this is how i would like it.



maybe not as low...but i want it pretty slammed with the clean look.

anyone got pics of TE37 on DC2?

also deciding whether to get the replica side skirts, and rear valence. the OEM are too $$$ for me but i'm not sure how it will fit for the replicas.
