Simple, classic design- I like them!
But... some of these pics show the car slammed like it's on bags. If that's a static drop that is way too low for the streets in my neighborhood, and I would guess it would set off all sorts of warnings on the suspension

If you look at all the pics closely you will see that it is not really slammed, just maybe as low as you would get with H&R springs.
It's fairly obvious that the slammed look pics (like the one you posted) have been achieved by shoving a wheel & tyre combo under the car tyre before lowering the hoist onto it.

Same rims on Mark Gs car, stunning car and wheel combo but in black with polished lip. O I want these 21" but would need to be lowered as well.

Would like to see this combo on a caledra red car

The drop is due to the aftermarket suspension, not the wheels.

LOL- yeah... I was commenting on both.

If a wheel lowers a car you're doing it wrong

Looking again, I see what you are saying. It looks like the wheel is propped in place, missing a center cap and the lugs too.

Yeah...I didn’t read your post until after I already submitted mine. Too lazy to go back and change mine.
