Getting anxious about a new lens that I have in the mail and I was looking through my photos and found some I never uploaded.

Edit: Is it just me or did the compression of images on here suddenly get pretty terrible. Included the flickr links because they are uncompressed.

Weird coincidence that you have those same hideous rims as the other new member. You can find anyone anywhere at anytime to give you the answer you want to hear but the truth is: Bigger/heavier wheels will not ruin your suspension but will cause your suspension parts to wear quicker - especially the hubs and shocks/struts. I'm also confident the same can be said about the cvs and ball joints.

same member just changed the name

Ahhh makes sense... good news is the rear wheel gap looks ok, guess it was just the angle of the pic.

 

[Ghost_Ls8]

right it looks a lot better ( stance not the rims lol ) , lets see if the dip project I assigned him will help

FYI, 20's will not ruin your suspension. A certfied ASE tech said my car can take them. for anyone saying that 20's will ruin your suspension is a lie.

Any wheel larger than factory or heavier than factory wheels will cause your suspension to wear out faster. Thats a fact. You believe what you want but saying members here lie because someone else told you different is just stupid. Find out the facts on your own....and you will find out if you keep those 150# wheels on your LS.

 

[freshkid87]

oh god. lol whats so bad about them? explain?

 

[G-RELL]

went from new guy to expert over night....NICE!

 

[freshkid87]

LOL damn man.. whats so hideous about my rims?

 

[Ghost_Ls8]

you're just jealous cuz mine look better than yours #factsonly

come on now , lets not throw around crazy statements like that , Hites Ls is one of the top Gen 1s on here and he helps many people , dont pick fights with guys that you will need help from later - just a tip

It's nothing personal I just hate chrome. I hate chrome more than you hate Hite LOL, sorry I had to do it....

 

[Ghost_Ls8]

LOL damn man.. whats so hideous about my rims?

to be honest man ( humble opinion since you asked ) the spokes look like they were made from a disco ball refer to pic , thats prob the worse thing about it , spokes are pretty wide but i know a certain jaguar model that has big spokes so whatever there , anyway I applaud you for not putting on anything bigger than 20s

LOL damn man.. whats so hideous about my rims?

Since you asked...those are the ugliest 'rims' on the planet. Just my opinion. If you like them....keep them but I think most will agree that the factory five stars look better than those disco balls

 

[G-RELL]

perhaps he'd be interesting some custom side mirrors....

 

[hite337]

I hope he can figure out how to get in his trunk if he locks his keys in there...

I just can't support that bumper, no matter who's car its on.

 

[2002_lincolnLS]

luckily I have the ground to support it for me

 

[2002_lincolnLS]

unfortunately sometimes the ground holds on and wont let go

interesting look , not for me but I like it man

 

[Upstairs Chris]

I know what you mean, with eibachs and the stock bumper me and the ground run into each other quite often. I can only imagine what it is like with that.
