Old rims are the 1st pic, I think they are ugly. New rims are 2nd pic. Also I know I need a drop I have the Megan Raceing Full Coil-Over set up on the way. Ill have pics up in about 2weeks once they are on.

i think it depends on the look you going for. if your trying to be luxurious its old all the way. the new ones... well i think the "laid back, relaxed, im in no real rush" look kind of applies but thier really borderline between that and ALMOST a speed demon look.... maybe like a speed demon thats real relaxed. but all around they would both work (but imo i also think you should paint the ride another color i.e. blk if you stay with the old)

naaa not the w7... but JL is nice.. the kickers require more air space then the w7.. so a w7 does not need as big of a box 2 hit hard.. like my box is huge.. u can get the w7 with a reg 2 12" box and it will still sound good.. ported is best

I personally think the new wheels look good. I like to see actual wheels on a car and not just the same 5 spoke 15-16" wheels.

and stereo even tho its going

Its all about design. You see a lot of 5 spoke wheels cause most are copies of a good design.
Most people equate what they see with what they are usta, so new designs are not popular.(and some are just ugly!)
^ ^ ^ not talking about rims shown here, i don't like either, but thats just my opinion.
