i also think lower would be better but since you cant it does look nice. i mean it is clearly an improvement, maybe not ideal but the 'perfect' ride and fit is almost undriveable day to day without air haha

i do like the wheel design too, as was said in a thread with another car on similar wheels though, i would hate to be the guy to wash them! haha

Agreed, I drive my car the way it sits in my sig daily and still have to be a little careful of turning into angled driveways etc..due to fender clearance. Of course the rear isn't an issue but the front is where all your problems are. I'm not willing to run the risk of grabbing the fenders everytime I turn the wheel, just not worth it to me.

Wheels with that much shine can be hard to take pictures of. They always look too bright. Stick with the look and height you like. Its your car.

I'm a stickler for lightweight, forged rims, but these are nice.
