Your upgrades look great!! I'm glad I'm not the only one that can't leave the daily drivers alone. I've done alot to my fusion and now we bought a 2012 focus and I'm planning to get the windows tinted asap, then I have a few more things planned for it.

Yes, it's the Aussie Commodore. Nice car, but it looked too much like everything else Pontiac sold for the past decade and a half. Then Pontiac exploded and they stopped selling it. Now they sell the car here again as the Chevy Caprice PPV, but only to police departments

The Caprice is a LWB version of the Commodore, amusing that its a luxury car here, and built more specificly for pursuit purposes there.
but, getting off topic! :D

keen to see what the 300 looks like with its new wheels.

We did one of those up in college. Our educational director was a huge mopar nut.. He bought a wrecked 300 and a flood damaged SRT-10 ram. Well... ended up cutting 4" out of the firewall of the 300 fabbin up custom motor and tranny mounts and stuffed that viper spec v10 down in the 300. We painted it two tone gunmetal and black. that car was sick.




To bad I graduated before it was finished. They ended up having the 20" SRT style rims put on it.. custom made headers yadda yadda. I got the glory of modifying the cradle, modding the firewall and floor... and test fitting the engine, hood full front clip. It was a task for sure.

Your car looks great and there are infinate possibilities with them for sure. Keep it up

New rims came in yesterday. Tires came in today. Needless to say I wasted no time putting them together and installing them. Now all I need is a feather hat and fur coat. Oh yeah, and some bitches.

Looking at thse photos it amazes me that a 20" rim with a 245/45/20 tire can still look small in those massive wheel wells...

If you can get away with lowering it, it helps a lot. I know you are kind out off the beaten path though. 22"s fill out decent but then you have SO many more issues with bent wheels, vibrations, tire wear/price/sidewall pinch.

Personally I like the styling of the 300s, HATE the quality of the product. Really like the grill.

It's amasing what a set of rims can do for a car. I liked how my Fusion looked with the original wheels but when I got the aftermarket one on it it was like wow! What a difference!

I hate stock 300's...but it doesnt take much to make them shagy...Good job man. Definitely time to upgrade on the wheels and sell the stockers for as much as 20s+tires would cost. OEM is stupid expensive.

I really like the the 300, except for the fact that I have yet to see a set of wheels on them that I like.  no wheel combo (even stock) looks right on those cars.  I do like what you have done to yours, good luck with your wheels.
