yeah, was thinking of doing that tomorrow since I'll have more time. Not sure if I would be better off trying a rolling picture or just taking a short video though... guess I'll figure that out tomorrow.
The only annoying thing is that they dont support TPMS, but I can deal with a light. Now that I'm thinking about that... is there a way to turn that off? I guess I'll search for that real quick.

yeah, I'm thinking about a drop... could probably manage something around christmas. I'll have to wait and see though. The only issue with a drop is that I already have to take an angle to get into my apartment complex without scraping bottom a bit so I dont think I could drop by much without that being difficult too.

Wider tires also change the diameter. I could have put 255's or 265's in the rear, but that would have made the rear a little taller. Here's a calculator that shows the actual differences between sizes.

If you enter in 245/40/18 and 265/40/18 you'll see that there's a fair enough difference.

lol, It's not too annoying. But if I had wanted black, I could have easily just asked for black instead lol.
I saw this design and had no interest in it...
I did consider this... but I wanted something a bit more interesting and unique.

love the wheels, the color is a little iffy, but if you get some sort of apperance package on your car, even the stock kit it will look much better (and lower it 
). great choice otherwise!

More than I should have. I was originally looking at CE28N time attacks for about $600 per wheel plus lugs and center caps... ended up paying a little more than that for these.
yeah, I'm not sure how much I can lower unfortunately. As I mentioned earlier, I already have to take the entrance to my apartment at an angle cause it scrapes a little. I think I have a bit of rub on some bumps still which is annoying. It's only hitting the plastic lining stuff though.
