I told 503-M3 to get these in 20" but he decided 19" due to the road conditions. They look very nice. Now you guys are brothers.
Here's a link to a pic of his car.

I think you need to mow the grass.

Good looking ride, nicely done.

I LOVE these wheels...always have. Nice choice.

So classy of a choice that they are kinda upstaging the rest of the car a bit IMO. A couple of tasteful aero parts would take care of that real quick

Wheel gap is perfect to me. Just need lips and side skirts to make it seem lower. Honestly, I dont like cars that are dropped too much. It needs to look balanced.

Looks great - love the machined finish.

The SLs are a stepped-lip? I guess I never noticed that... do they come with a reversed (flat) lip?

Wheels look great. Drop it a tad lower and throw on some LTuned sides if you dont plan on much. Will make the car that much more hot.

thanks all for the feedback...

yes they are stepped lip and dont come in reverse lip in 20's but i didnt care...i wanted them and i am glad i gottem...

as far as kit and skirts go i canceled my order on the Auto Couture Kit for a couple reason...

1. 10 weeks to get the kit
2. the body shop told me it would be in the shop for a month
3. dont know if i wanna keep the car long enough to justify spending another 6-7K on kit and paint

so im kinda in a catch 22...

i am removing the rear spoiler and i already have a roof spoiler to put on...perhaps ill get the kit...i really dont know what to do

Ride looks hot.

Congratulations

I would agree with everyone else that the car does need to come down a tad bit more and yes, some clear side marker lights would not hurt either.
