tup.gif Looks great, but lowering it wouldn't hurt.

I hope to see it in person at the meet smile.gif

the centers look pretty close to body color in those pics, which would be sweet

lowering it will really bring it together

Yeah I was not sure how I liked the bronze, I was very close to getting gunmetal with a machined lip but they put the bronze on there to see what I thought and I fealt it fealt that they looked good on the car.

how much do they weigh? the look hot and a hell of a lot lighter than pegs or volans that everyone has.
Why is my car always broken?

Lowering is a very high priority right now, the wheels are Enkei RS7's 18x7.5 on Toyo Proxes 4 235/40/18. I am thinking about just buying some Eibach pro's to lower it and get koni struts later on down the road but not exactly sure what the best solution would be.

John, you should get a euro plate or at least a tinted plate cover for the front of your car, the WA plate uncovered just stands out like a sore thumb tongue.gif I know how it is, I used to have the same setup.

Look forward to seeing it in person though.

those wheels look good. i usually do not like that style wheel b/c it makes the brakes look so small, but those do not look bad. and yes lowering it should be in your immediate future.
