Your car looks amazing, I love it.

To me it says you've found the balance between looks and common sense

lookin real nice man! I do think it would look better a tad lower, and with some wheel spacers.. but if you like it where it is, then that is all that matters.

I love this design of wheel, always have. Congrats man. I would do like Kev mentioned and get some spacers to push the wheels out more flush with the fenders. Nice job..

I love the wheels. I was thinking of getting new wheels but leaving it at stock height because I'm in NYC & the potholes are like craters... but it does look awkwardly weird with nice big wheels & stock height.

At least in the rear, my wheels arent even close to being flush with the fender.

Unfortunately, I don't have any personal experience with spacers, but I have seen people use them here in CL, and then vouch for them, and the cars looked better with the wheels pushed out. Search "spacers" and you should be able to get some good info on them here in CL...

Here's a few:

If you're going for a "staggered" look, only use the spacers in the rear, and see how that looks first.

And lower the front a tad while you're at it...still a little too much gap in the front.

Good start though...

[and clear corner markers / smoked corner markers up front to get rid of the yellow.[/QUOTE]

Don't. Yellow looks better. All same color is boring and yellow make contrast!
just my opinion course!
