I'm sure it feels really grounded to the ground with wheels that big. It has stuff that guys like, like the rims and the sleekness to the body.

I don't have an issue with the size of the wheels, more the style... just too much open air visible. With larger wheel/tire combinations a slight lowering of the suspension is a must as well, in my opinion, just to even it out. The one thing that I don't care for is the black side skirts. That really accentuates the raised look of the car more than anything. If the side skirts were still the same color as the front and rear bumpers then I believe it would look a lot cleaner. But that being said, I see there is snow for you to deal with, so maybe that was part of the motivation there? The rest of the car looks great, I really like the black stripe with the light orange accents and the orange on the wheels matches well.

Just a little constructive criticism, I know. It is your car and I hope you enjoy it regardless what the haters are going to say.

The wheel size is a little silly, but I really dig the stripe!

The only real issue here is the comment marked in bold.

OP is out of his mind if he thinks the car handles well with that setup.
Do what you want to your car, but don't fool people into thinking something like that will handle anywhere near as well as stock.

Looks like you put a lot of thought in the color scheme. As everyone else is saying; just isn't my style. Most FRS owners [me included] when modding their cars will play it conservative with the popular rota/volks/bbs variety with a drop and a lip: the hard-park special.

Nevermind what all the pussies on here say; spend your earned cash how you like.

I really like the color scheme but there are some things that need work. The spray painted blacked out tail lights are okay on an older car but I would have spent more time evening out the coats. The wheels are too big in my opinion you should go a little smaller to balance out the car. When I see big wheels on a small car it makes me think of someone buying a pair of shoes 8 sizes too big and wearing them because its "cool".

trolling is fun, but when it comes to degrading and flaming another members car, this community rocks.

I feel so wonderful knowing that any mod I make, if its not liked, this is the treatment i would get.

Shame on you... This is not another BMW, or Civic forum. . Show
