Unfortunately, there are 
This was part of the reason I forced myself to sell my expensive exhaust, every now and then you can get stuck in a situation that gives you no option other than grit your teeth and scrape. Speedbumps aren't an issue really, usually you can find another way around (slight hassle). The real problem is driving in unfamiliar areas where you don't know the contours of the road/highway...
The car is a bit too low to really perform ideally, I'll admit that. I still have 800 miles left on my rebuilt motor at which time I'll see how the current setup actually performs in spirited runs. I'm hoping I'm satisfied but if I am not, I'll try raising it up a bit and realign accordingly. My experience with cars is a constant battle between form and function, the former typically getting the better of me. Still, I'm going to try to dial the car in to be a blast to drive in the canyons while maintaining a look I like.
edit: Thanks for any compliments guys. I choose these wheels because of my own preference, rather than what the forum dictates as 'right' and 'wrong' but it's always cool to see some others share your interests.

If some clear corners come up cheap I'd pick them up just to try it out though, it's something I've contemplated from day 1 of taking the corners out.

Yeah, I used to want the buddy club but I've got a pretty good hook on the FEED front and sides so we'll see what happens.
I'm not really anxious to spend money as the sooner I get it, the sooner it'll get scraped up -_-

Nikk, that's actually a custom single exit exhaust I've got but it's too loud so isn't on the car. This thread is actually pretty old, back when I first had the car with these wheels.
Since then I've taken some better pics that I guess I can update this thread with, since it's been bumped. Loads more at my flickr, of course...

The fitment is awesome and I love the color, very nice to see people with a different style.
