I think it's gonna look even better when you finish lowering it even more.

Yeah, I think the additional drop will really set the rims off. Fronts will be slightly tucked and the rears will meet right with the fender. At least thats the plan

If anyone needs to buy wheels at a great price and have excellent service along the way, get a hold of AutoMotiveMods, grade A company. Glad to have them as a site sponsor.

Enjoy the wheels, and definitely drop it down another inch all around.

I am going to be asking that exact question tomorrow. The shop that did the repair is closed on the weekends. I know they used a polish but not sure how it all got wrapped up. If it needs a shot of clear, it's going to be on the shop that messed up the wheels bill

^ I wouldn't request that shot of clear on the wheels. IMO they are easier to maintain by polishing when necessary (which is much harder when they're clearcoated)...

The reflection of the rivets off the lip trips me out for some reason. I think a slightly darker spokes would make it stand out more esp. reflecting of the lip. Do you have the HKS exhaust?

These were taken at Freedom High in Brentwood.

I almost went with the Anthracite finish which I still love. Just decided to change it up this time and go for a different look.

Yes, that is the HKS rear section.
