Nothing wrong with the wheels, it's how the car sits on them, which in this case is 'badly'. Anyone can buy a set of baller wheels, pulling them off is another thing.

And what exactly is wrong with how it sits..?
What's right about it?  :lipsrsealed: Massive rake, not low enough for the stretch but not stretched enough for the offset and it just doesn't look right. It's an attempt at having a baller stance, but a poor one. He needs to decide if he wants the wheels to be tucked, flush, or poking, cause right it's not sitting in any particular way and it looks rubbish.
I'll also pose the question, do the wheels even suit the car? To me it looks like they are just 'there', not really complimenting anything.
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3

Ahhh Jimp we think alike  :cool: But you're quicker at responding!
Although i do like the wheels, Just not really a fan of the silver/chrome centre.
The tyres look farrrr too big since he is going for the "smooth" look having large tyres don't fit that theme..
And the back is too high.
But thats only my personal opinion i guess  :lipsrsealed:
