It looks good! Those tinted tail lights really good with the two-tone. Those rims aren't too bad either. Nice work!

I thought those were PT Crusier wheels. I always favor thick 5 spoke wheels. They look great ! What size are they & did you require any spacers??? Nice ride.

They are 17 in. wheels and no.. I did not need any spacers. Although I might just get a couple to help push the rear wheels out a bit.. They kinda look a bit sunken in with the drop now.

id say give them about a 5-10mm spacer in the rear to give it a nice clean look.

The only problem with spacers.. you need to change all the studs to longer ones which it just a pain in the (removed). haha

not the smaller MM ones, they also have bigger MM spacers with studs already on them. look for H&R spacers. Most all matrix and corolla guys use those spacers.
