18" Chrome Rims

Post by IceRod »

Hi, my neighbour said I had to do several modifications if I was going to put 18" rims on my mx-3. Dont know the english words for the things but i think it was some sort of stabilizer.

I know that I won't get the same performance with 18" (I'm all about the bling bling :D ) but am my neighbour right?

18s fit just fine and yea you do feel the road a lot more. But if your going for looks 18s all the way. These are mine with 215/35. If you do a search you will find loads more pics of 18s on our cars.
