Being that low starts to make your car aggressive enough for those wheels. I vote you slam the hell out of it if you keep those rims red.

^ I agree. IMO it takes the focus off the gap and the wheels and lets you take in the entire car. The red wheels needs an aggressive stance.

I agree, it's amazing how different it makes the car look. I t will take me a month or so to recoup from the cost of these but I will have to get some real coil overs soon or maybe some Koni Yellows

Koni Yellow's aren't going to be enough with S Tech's to make it as low as the photoshopped pictures...

Yeah, im sitting as low as I would ever want... Im the perfect height, I can barely make it over decent size speed bumps... Even bigger ones if I take it right, plus my car STILL looks sexy as hell with Stock rims...

Hey ill post a pic ( a good one ) up if someone can do a Photochop of my car on the G-games that Pdhax has or some Volk SF Challenge in gunmetal, any takers?

Looks hella clean 9K! Congrats and welcome to the club

It's 8.5/9.5 so it isn't super weak up front. He didn't buy them new so he is having to work with what he has. He is getting much wider tires and a drop pretty soon. It will totally change how the car looks.

18" TE's concave while 19's have a more subtle concave with lip. Possible, but not easy...

My bad dude...He got them from me. I knew I had talked to someone but couldn't find the PM... I had 3 people interested in buying them with my car but they all fell through... Since I was selling the car, as well as a few various parts I kept having my PM box fill up and must have accidentally cleared your PM. Huge apology... definitely my mistake

I'm glad you were able to find something similar at least... the sizes are more aggressive which is something I would do if I were to do that over again. What's the offset? They're definitely great wheels.
