congrats Rodger...merry christmas to you . I love the Hiros...in all colors. They are a great rim. Take some pics in a week, after the suspension has settled so we can see the "true" drop. You did all this yourself....what did you do with your stockers? Did you re-use your stock tires, or do you have them laying around. I'm gonna be doing an autocross second week in January and am gonna need some cheap tires to thrash. My stock tires have 31,000 miles on them, and are more like slicks
Could you take some more shots of the projector foglights....did you end up going this route because it was too hard to fab pieces for you HID conversions?

I did everything myself, the rear springs were very hard. Everything else was a piece of cake.
I reused my kuhmo spt tires. 245/40/18
check this thread out for the fog light info:

thanks again for the fog light brackets.
this is only my foglights (no headlights) yea, they're that bright.

congrats on your new rims roger. though, comparing yours to mine, i like how my rear rims curve inward as opposed to not.
Oh, and one thing you'll probably hate about the Hiros (i know i do), is that when you go to wash the rims, when you get to the lug nuts, there are some sharp edges there. So you can be expecting some cut fingers here and there
