Your wheels look good man. The tint looks photoshopped, or maybe he has (2) 5% sheets on the front??

Thanks guys for the nice responses,

No the Front windshield is not tinted, Only the sides/back are tinted. As you can see on the sides you see the reflection of houses and the front its just all black. When I got home today I was bored so I was playing around w/Photoshop

Yep Bravo the Mod Bug bit alright!!

Anyways I will Prob lower my car next. What does the lowering do? Is it just for the looks? I might be getting some L-tuned shocks and Eibach springs or Lsportine. My concern is that if my car is lowered wont I feel the bumps more and have a greater chance of denting/flats cause of the stiffer ride

Will the lowering also make my wheels look bigger?

well, lowering won't increase your chances of dents because that's based on your sidewall and rim quailty(not a problem!) when they meet potholes, and flats depend on luck and sharp stuff you drive through.

lowering increases handling response since it lowers the car's center of gravity, but the handling really depends on how you lower. getting coilovers to lower does much better than springs/shocks. and it will make your rims look slightly bigger since the wheel well is now less visible, as your rims/tires fill up the space
