    2012 Classic Silver II. H&R lowering springs, 16 x 7 Drag DR9 wheels with 205/50R16 GY Assurance Fuel Max tires. I went with the smaller wheels because I was worried about mpg loss. They weigh 16.5 lbs 2012-12-29 13.26.46.jpg

    The drop looks good. The black wheels go with the tint really nice.

    Looks great. What's the offset on the wheels? Do you have any pics of the side view? Curious to see how flush the wheels are to the fenders.

    They are called ventvisors. They allow you to vent your car by lowering your windows an inch or two without letting in rain and wind. They also help with fogging windows in winter.

    That makes sense. Sadly I always associate them with smokers though, as they always seem to have them. Good concept though.
