Don't let that stop you. Just don't go too low and drive carefully!

I've seen these vrsc's car in person, and I must say the wheel, wheel color are the perfect match for his Diamond Graphite sedan. Definately a looker...

I had the install place paint the the Calipers black using high temp black gloss paint and no I did not wax the wheels. Even though I was instructed not to wax these by 3 Mackin techs, I will throw a coat of wax on them when I wax the car but I did not have enough time to when I was getting them installed. I know it will be a pain but oh well. Since my 05 has no problems with brake dust, I should be good with the insides.

As for the drop, I will researching this for a couple weeks first, so expect more questions to come

I have 225/45 on my 18s and if your going 225 then i wouldnt go with a 40 profile because it will look like you have really small wheels. i did alot of research because my rims could only fit up 225 so going with a 45 pro makes the wheel height 25.9 and stock wheel height is 26.33 with the 17s.
