wheel gap is not too bad.
But it looks like it's lowered already.

definetly a nice looking car Lawrence.  I'm not much for bling but there's always a place in my heart for the late 2g eclipse :)

It's a black DSM with chrome rims, how is it more or less blingy than your car?   :roll:

Nice looking car though, it's clean and simple, I like that.

yeh...chrome wheels werent my first choice but they ended up looking pretty nice.  plus i didnt want to get like konig tantrums or whatever cuz every damn honda has seems to have em already.

and yes..its already lowered but only 1.3".  when i bought my springs i didnt think it'd still be that high.  i'm trying to sell my springs (cuz they're pretty much new) and get new springs with a lower drop.

looks good though lawrence... mine is only lowered 1.5" and I would never go lower. Wheel gap is minimal and I can still clear speed bumps, unlike some...

really? 1.5" only?  i cant see how your's is only .2" lower than mine but has no wheel gap.  i just want to lower the back b/c i like the front.  not much gap and if i'm careful it doesnt scratch anything.  o well..

thanks for all the compliments =)  i really gotta make it out to a meet someday...maybe if they all werent in woopwoop i'd come out =p

come to a meet and you can see what I mean. Keep in mind that I said "minimal" wheel gap. I don't need my tires to be kissing the top of the fender well to be happy with how it looks. Practicality is a consideration here. IMHO it looks perfect with 1.5" drop.

hey lawrence, those are nice rims!  i think the chrome and black look good together

my car is lowered 1.5" too and the gap is just right, sometimes it scrapes too so i think its low enough, theres still a gap but i don't need my tires rubbing the wheel well
