i figure thats not too bad for their size, but thats twice what a stock wheel weighs. you car is gonna be slow as hell.
Not to mention the fact of how hard it is going to be to stop.

Hey driveby, let me know how those fit will ya. Because i've been looking at some 20" x 7.5" Motegi DP10's, and i'm curious how they will fit. However yours are 42mm offset, and the dp10s are 45mm. I think worst case scenario i'd have to roll the fenders is all.

And don't let the speed freaks get to you bud, some of us, like you and me, just want to look good, and aren't too concerned about who gets to the next stop light first.

I have fitted 19 x 7.5 on mine and will be installing my new 19 x8 from TSW shortly... no serious modifying was needed... replaced the suspension with a full coil over system and grinded part of the frame...

haha, i'm going to call you a donk now. To be honest those rims look better then i though they would. I think you need a kit now to complement them. oh ya, and air bags!.

It looks from your pics that i should be able to fit the dp10s no problem since i'm on bags. hmmm decisions decisions. whats the clearance like from wheel to fender? Would you be able to tuck the rims in without rubbing?

i'm sorry, but that looks REALLY bad without anything else done to your neon. Get bagged, get a kit, otherwise i'd go back to your stockers until you do so....

:puke:

sorry man.
Like the idea, just don't like how you went about it at all.

^^ hes still gone the right way about it IMO. Lowering and wheels should always come before a body kit.

true.... but lowering and "regular" sized wheels will look fine on a mostly un-modified car... like his

it looks really out of place. Defentally can't wait to see the progression though.
