Not going to lower though, I'm happy with the fender gap, its a nice even gap all the way around. That and the crappy roads we have here would be murder!

Love the wheels! Needs a drop but it's not that bad imo. Beautiful wheels, especially for aftermarket they look nice. Remind me of the Brabus Monoblocks (which I dislike but I like these lol)
More pics of that passenger?

Looks great!
I wouldn't drop it, you got the 4matic for a reason and being in Calgary you're gonna face the nasty winter. It might look slightly better with a drop but I don't think it's worth it.

Thanks for all the comments guys, the poll I posted up a month or two back really helped my decision, I think I made the right one
Meet sounds good, I'd be up for it!
haha she didn't really want to be in the shot, but I brought the camera out and she had no choice :p
Yeah with our winters, I'm not going to risk it. Kinda why I got 4MATIC.
They look like a lot of other split 5 spoke wheels. There are variations of every style of wheel out there except for the really outrageous ones, so it's kind of a general assumption to just say, they kinda look like this or that. It's the quality and fitment that set nice rims apart from cheap knockoffs.
I liked these ones as they had the finish I wanted and I could get them custom made to fit the car. Also, the lines are more pronounced than most options out there. I'll take some close up pics later this week and you'll see what I mean.

[QUOTE=Illusive;3678604]Thanks. I'm not sure what offset they got for me, but I'll ask and see if I can get that information for you guys. The fronts clear the upgraded brakes from factory with the cross drilled rotors. What BBK were you looking into?

@Illusive -- very nice wheels! Goes great with your car.
Totally agree with you on not lowering the car. I heard my car scraping on snow last year and if I had lowered the car I would be plowing the streets. And +1 on the potholes -- Canadian winters wreak havoc on asphalt.
