Body looks cool, interior too, but the rear wheels are way too thin and tall.

Love the wide body but everybody's right those rims are way to big. Smaller rims and lower it a little

the wheels look so bad, specially in back it just kills the entire deal for me. its just some donk... ahhhh!!!!! THEY LOOK LIKE HUGE HOLES IN THE REAR! how is that cool? and with the stock brakes no less... geeeeeze.

OK

but.. red and black look ok.. ok trying to be positive.

if the wheels were changed to 19/20 inch and lowered it would look badass with that body. I think this car is donk with the wheels and looks retarded. Looks like a damn wagon.

Wide body I like well enough, rims as everyone has said need to go. I really wish being 7in wider you would see a wider tire on it. I think a lot has to do with the height/width ratio but damn that tire doesn't look that beefy on the car for being a wide body. Maybe a 20 would look better. 345/35/20 in back. Wider if they make it.

Who makes the "body kit"? The body is exactly how I wanted the car to look... GM went way to plain with these cars, but that kit is spot on where the car needed to be from the start...

Bitchen wheels... NOT!
