Looks fine to me. There isn't much of a drop with the springs from what I have seen, but the wheels could use something in the center to cover the gaping hole look IMO.

There is a black centre cap in the middle but its hard to see in these pictures.... ya i agree it looks like theres a big hole in the middle from these pics.


and as for the drop height the springs wont be settled until a week or so later so it wont eventually be lower

Nice rims you got there. IMO the holes dont look bad. Does anyone know if 19's will rub on anything or will they fit just right?

Looks good. I have a black 8 myself with the stock rims. I don't know that I'd want dark wheels everday myself, but I do like the look.

The 19s do not slow the car at all, if you buy light 19s they will increase performance...

I like the Buddy Clubs myself. Are those the new cast version (P-1 Racing II) or the more expensive 2-piece kind?

It looks good. Should look very nice with the bodykit you plan to get.
But putting on a bodykit and springs , your clearance will be REALLY LOW. Certain speed bumps will hit your front, so be careful. I've got the burnout front lip and had several instances of scraping with the stock springs.
