Asking dressup guys for picts of wheel gap is as bad as asking ladies for picts of their wrinkles.

Kellzir,
They are Flix and the model is Fuel (I think???). I got them when Edge Racing was having one of their crazy sales, they are 17x7 w/205/45/17s- I changed from S-Lites w/17 inch runflats- it was a world of difference! Thanks for the compliments!

Shooler, that's a sweet lookin' MCC. The MCC's have never really appealed to me, but yours is nice, you've done a good job IMO!

You're not getting the entire picture unless you find out what size tires they're running as well.

exactly

Hsorts sitting on 205 vs 215s is a completly different look.

I think i will go with the more moderate drop (H-sport) and put either 17s or 18s on with a slightly taller sidewall.

Minimal speedo correction, slightly more wheel protection, and a bit more wheel gap taken away, all while adding a hair of ground clearance
