Default 18" rims and stock suspension, anyone?

I just got a set of Volk GT-N's. 18x8 and 18x9. But I'm not planning to lower my car anytime soon. Anyone have pictures of their or any SC with 18's not lowered? I'm just wondering how it'll look. I don't have my tires yet, so I won't have my rims on for a while. Thanks!

It looks really good actually.

I have Enkei 18" wheels with 245/40's front and 275/35's back.

The car doesn't look "lifted" at all which was a relief since I didn't want to change the factory suspension.

I'll take pics when I can get a chance.

one more for fun.

I don't want to lower my car for now. I had a lowered Honda Accord and had some problems with it. Don't start bashing Hondas now cuz that's not where the problems were...But for now, I will not be lowering the SC.

Nice looking wheels Howie... Is that a picture of you in your racing suit sitting on that rim? You've shrank...

Adam, you have nice SC. Have any pics with the car lowered?
