i like them, they look real good with your cars color laura and a huge difference is when you drop it.
it also looks good with a different lip too
but theyre still nice wheels

dont hate...just rotate!!
I have my stockers....thank the good lord I had enough sense to keep them. They are on loan actually to a buddy, while his get painted. I may try powdercoating before I totally give up. It's not really the wheels its the order in the way I did things..and I'm pissed that I didn't listen to those that I've asked advice of, and gotten..
I am SUCH A NOOB!!!!!!!

i LOVE the copper red, its beautiful! The wheels compliment it well, tho lowering and some form of body kit/appearance pack would help you a long way!

Thanks Anthony.. I look and look and look at her sitting in the drive. I love the wheels I have to admit..and don't care what any one else really thinks. In asking for an honest opinion I gained the insight into the fact as to why she didn't look right, and I already recognized that..rolling though you can't see it, so I didn't notice it right off the bat, I was so busy looking at the wheels themselves. In that one image that you posted It's also not as prevalent..
What a difference a few days makes. She's sitting basically until I get the coilovers done, ( couple of weeks) not because I'm ashamed to drive her like I said before, but because of the body roll. I can NOT take it easy in this car, and living in the mountains It is too tempting to get on it, so seeing as I don't have to go out, I havent. The heat index here is 103, and theres a severe air alert as well, and in this area its rare, so living at a higher elevation it doesn't effect me as much, hence another reason to stay in.
Anthony that is a stock lip under there..most of the other pics I guess didn't show it, but its factory. The only change was the wheels. It's different, maybe because its a Shinka...I don't know. Most others have the airdam. I'm never seen one without either..
and after a further look I realized you did a little PS for me....thanks. I can see the difference in how they are going to look.

Matt, I appreciate that, but they are growing on me. Just having a bit of self doubt. Never have done a major mod on any car before.. I do love your wheels though, and one of the other guys is having his painted, but I don't know anything else. He has my stockers now..
Hopefully by the Road rally she'll be lowered and I'll be happy..It's killing me not being able to push her the way I do. I'm just a bit anxious yet, because of the offset. It's amazing at what 5mm does to the set up.
Kit is in transit..painted hopefully by Christmas if not sooner. Actually I'm glad that I don't have the appearance package...I'll wrap up the bumpers and keep them..and be starting a teaser once it gets here, and get the money to have her painted.

I don't think those style wheels look good on the 8. Just me though.
