Hey McJerk! I helped your cause and voted for Vossens. Now get that damn thing lowered already before I find your car and cut your springs while you're sleeping!

hahaha whats up Dre. Hows Orlando. Sounds like your a little salty because you traded in your CLK for an Element and then traded that in for a Civic.

Like Your Rims

I think the rims look good. I guess I'm ghetto too, I love chrome. It is a matter of taste........when was a teenager, Cragar S/S Chrome 5 spokes were all the rage. Now, it seems like a lot of people like black wheels, smoked wheels, etc. To me, they look a little odd. So, it's just a matter of taste.

What size wheels are these? Have you had your car lowered? If so, how much, what did they do, and how much did it cost? Thanks!

the wheels are 20's. Went out of town for the month for the holidays so I havent had time to lower it. That is on the top of my list when I get back to Ft Lauderdale. Prob going to run me $300 to do it with the existing air ride. Thats the lowest quote ive got. My dealership refuses to lower it with their STAR. I even tried to slip the guy a $100 spot. DENIED!

Damn. Is there any other dealerships around there? I would keep trying. It will save you 200 bucks.

I'm with Khelawanb and In4life on this one.. to each his own.. I had Lorinser D93's on my 97 S500 and I thought it was really hot 9 years ago... Now i look at old pictures and i feel like it is too much chrome for me now.. I went with what i have know because it matches my taste and style now.. Lowenharts have always been tight and top-notch wheels and the style they have on their rides are not ghetto. There are some types of chrome wheels that i would never throw on a CLS or a Benz for that matter but the LD3's are not the ones.. The ride looks cool with those wheels and will definately look much better with a drop but they are plain star type rims.. Get the drop and you will be str8!!!
