Looks about right in the front, to me. Back might come up a smidge, or run taller rubber back there

New look
 
Looks even better Ozgur!
Interesting how much a change of wheels can affect the look of a car.
The lower ride height in front helps a lot too.

Now get it out of the shop and take some better pictures :)

Ozgur_Tan 02-01-2010 02:56 PM

you are 100% right about effect of wheels&tires to look

my plan for picture is also @ outside of the workshop
but, i could not make it, because of heavy rain

Ozgur..........

i like the other wheels better........
but thats why i have them on my car.

Ozgur_Tan 02-01-2010 03:10 PM

i also prefer 15" torque thrust, fia and halibrand
but, my torquethusts are 2nd hand because of our regulations to import wheels
that's the reason for me to bought those 17" wheels

good news is my old friend get permit to import special wheels, so i can put an order

Ozgur_Tan 02-02-2010 11:28 PM

hmm thanks bob

front 235/60R15 diameter 663mm
rear 255/60R15 diameter 687mm

it would be better for me to continue play with tires

hardtop
 
I am too late to offer any suggestions but on you-tube there is a hard top movie some one built- looked okay at the end.
