wheels are perfect as is!
and I think the tails are really unique. Sets the color tone of the car off very well, red/clears would seem out of place to me.. but in the end do whatever will help YOU sleep at night

Wheels are staying silver, and the car just went into the shop at 8am this morning for the coilover install, should have it back later this afternoon. Cant wait to see it & find out how the Megans ride.

Here they are folks - no photoshop, just Megan coilovers and they ride very nice. I havent played with the 32 way adjustable valving yet but its very satisfactory, much like a sports coupe ride.
so, how is it over bumps? Is it smooth or brutal? Also is there any rubbing? Overall very nice whip RK you get down to business when it comes to moddin!

the front rubs a tad on the plastic inner liners (which get taken care of tomorrow) and the rear only rubs on the pass side where there's a dent - that will get hammered back tomorrow as well. Ride is very decent, but my mechanic said he set them very firm so it wouldnt rub on the way home so I could get the plastice fixed to my liking & the dent hammered back. I love them, for the money cant be beat, and you can always add UAS air bags over them later for more control

Gap from tire to wheelwell is exactly matched front to rear at this point and I carry my kids on a daily basis, without air it would be too slammed in back with them inside (18yr old Daughter is 5'9, 12 yr old son is 5' 11", they are both adult sized). Air is in the plans and the stance will change drastically when that happens - IF I dont sell this one for a 430 by then... 
EDIT; and mine's lower than yours... unless you have some new pics I havent seen

my rear is a little lower than the front, i am as low as you can get without going super soft (tanabes) or coilovers.
and im pretty sure im either the same as yours or a little bit lower, tho it may be tricky because of the different wheel sizes, i have no finger gap at all in the rear.
i needa take some new pictures

problem I have (only a problem until I develop a solution) is I really didnt want to stretch tires as its a DD and carrying 4 adult size people. The 275/30 is rather huge back there, but I'll make it fit
