Hey everyone, I'm Nick from the island of Jamaica. I'm new here, sold my 02 Mazda protege last month (April) and bought this 08 Vitz (Luvin it) http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w6/squash503/IMG-20140426-WA0000.jpg (http://s172.photobucket.com/user/squash503/media/IMG-20140426-WA0000.jpg.html).

Plan on getting these wheels 16" with an offset of 40 http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w6/squash503/Rims.jpg (http://s172.photobucket.com/user/squash503/media/Rims.jpg.html) with 185 50 16 tyres. Should be nice, have a few mods to do which you will be kept updated on!! :thumbsup:

Hello from across the waters (Antigua). Nice car you got there, I'd go 40 series on the tires, they'll look a lot better

If the roads are bad then I understand, I'm currently on 195/50/15s and I wish I got a lower profile

Picked em up today, such a good feeling unboxing new shiny wheels http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w6/squash503/2014527220554.jpg (http://s172.photobucket.com/user/squash503/media/2014527220554.jpg.html)

Next photos will be after fitting em.

Is it for cosmetic reasons you wished you had a lower profile or you rubbing? I'm hoping the 50's wont rub...

16x7 wheels in 205 45 16

Now the search begins for a badge-less grille and foglights maybe with some "sexy purple HID":drinking:

...thinking of an inch and quarter drop...

Looks good, yeah I'm lowered on Tein Springs and it rubs every now n then going over bumps at speed.
