[quote=“MikeRi24,post:19,topic:26607"”] ok why is it that every time Justin makes a thread involving his car, all he gets is people hating on his rims? its his car, so why do you care what it looks like? if he likes, it, thats all that matters! In the last ~2 weeks, i have seen 2 other S4s that look just like his on here (one as a project thread and one FS thread) so i dont blame him for wanting to make his car stand out a little bit. he made the thread about lowering his car, not about if people like his rims. oh my god, what happened if people didnt like something on YOUR car??? imagine that??? btw, i think the car looks a really good now justin. just get that front ride height figured out and you’ll be all set. [/quote] People didnt like the idea of you making your truck fast…and you were dead set on it…now you have a GTO…lol Anyways it looks nice lowered…The rims would look better with bigger brakes… ---

god those wheels are fucking awful. seriously dude, the car would look soooo much better with the stock wheels on it. i think s4’s are the only cars where the stock wheels should remain on the car at all times. that is just my opinion, but i think im right.

[/quote] my bet would be… yes. you really think bbs’s are ugly? ohh… wait. you drive an s10. your entire car is ugly. i paid $200 for my wheels. ive had bbs’s on my previous cars, never had an issue with them, they’re cheap, reliable, and i think it sets of my e30 quite nicely. the good old OEM+ look ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/94wvwglxvr6/167164345989_3300.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/c/4/c4297787e76a5777342c86445f69cf320d519744.jpeg) can anyone say those wheels look shitty on that car?

Well, you made a thread so you’re obviously looking for feedback so here goes: -The wheels. Nuff said. -Is the drop even? The front wheel gap looks smaller than the back. -Are my eyes deceiving me or did the drop result in positive camber in the rear? To each his own so feel free to ignore my opinion, but IMO a stock S4\>Your S4. Not hating. If you like it cool. That’s all that matters. ---

I agree the front needs to come up a little. as you need to keep oil in that pan, and even out the car (or you could put a bigger system in the trunk that should even it out (lol). But deffintly looks better… now getting it running so we can do a photoshoot with YOUR car. ---

What suspension set up did you go with? I don’t think I would have gone THAT low… but hey, you gotta keep your eyes open a little wider while driving. Yeah, I don’t think I need to comment on the rims anymore… ---

**OMFG THE RIMS,** I rather like. Then again I like 80s cars therefore I have no valid taste. Interesting choice on the drop though for some reason I see that drastically hurting the performance of the car on the street.
