Default pic request, lowered on 17's

is anyone lowered on the stock 17" 5 spoke rims?
Im a big fan of the clean factory look and just prefer the stock rims to aftermarket ones

Hey platinum! I have been feveriously looking for a good bodyshop in socal and can't find one. I am located in carlsbad and everyone has told me to come to you guys. I need some work done on my car and was wondering if you could give me a rough estimate. In addition to the pics would be the install and 'molding' of a TTE front lip. Thanks!

Yeah man my coils went on today and I would have never thought that the look on the ride would be that much different by just lowering it...However if you get some coils and keep the factory wheels you might be able to pull of a nice look.
