Default New wheels-What do you think?

I think it's a pretty good improvement. From this:
To this:
I have a cheap digital camera, so not the best quality images. I will be selling my old wheels, tires and sensors. I'll post in the appropiate section.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys. I've been wondering if I should slam it. Can you guys tell me the pros and cons? I've read some of the past posts on slamming. Seems to me, some say new shocks and same say not necessary. What about wheel alignment? I don't know if I'd make it up my drive. Thanks again. Mark
