I prefer deep dish and a taller tire out back, but silver with black 18" bullitts is a nice choice. I say keep them.

I'd keep the wheels and get a set of springs for a meaner stance.

I like them myself. That car IMO would look nice lowered and painted (even the same color for that matter)

I agree. The rims look good. Adding a meatier tire in the back and suspesion with a rake will make it look much better. As far as the paint I'm in the same boat. My car needs it but I want it to be perfect and perfect paint isn't cheap. KEEP'EM

I think it looks good as is.... but if you want to read my opinion:

On Fox's I just feel that 17's should be the max size before the wheels overpower the look of the car. But definitely spend the cash on the suspension, a nice stance would improve it 100%

my opinion is lower the car some and get some paint.(maybe some more meat on the rear tires also) wheels look ok but fresh paint will change the look more than wheels would.

I would try lowering the car first, but I think you need 17's.

No doubt the car needs paint, but you can make a bad paint job look good, with a slick stance. The wheels just look goofy on it.

Keep the 18" wheels..they look good.And..if you want a change,paint the car and maybe the wheels a nice color as well.Probably the same as the body for the wheels maybe.
