suvneer front lip & venaci spirits installed

So after weeks and weeks of waiting for my custom venaci's to be made (work wheels) they finally arrived today. I know a lot of people have been waiting to see the suvneer lip installed so i went ahead and took some TERRIBLE pictures in the rain. lol I was desperate just to get some pics up.

Now i know a lot of you will hate on me for my wheel/ tire setup, but this is the route that i wanted to go with and feel looks the most aggressive.

The front lip fits perfectly, i absolutely love it! I have boxes of stuff in my living room yet to install on the car, but like i said, i was desperate just to get some pics up. In a couple weeks when the rest of the mods are installed i will post up the photoshoot pics.

The wheels are Venaci Spirit (made by Work Wheels) 19x9 +35 and 19x10 +35. Tires are Dunlop Direzza DZ101 225/35/19 and 245/35/19. there is a mild stretch, which is what i was going for. There is no rubbing in front at all, there is mild rubbing in rear on big bumps. fenders will be pulled and rolled on monday. Car is dropped on H&R Super sport springs.
Anyway enjoy!

Looks very nice but it looks like you should have gone with a little wider tire in the rear or is it the picture?

Taking pictures of a white car with black wheels is tough when you want to pay attention to the wheels the white car underexposes the black.

I think the polished wheel lips are very good and make " the look " I like them far far better than the all black wheels. The offsets [ for me ] are far to small but I said for me and you knew you were going to get some flack. Tough to see the front spoiler. I`ll be interested in your other mods because I also have a white car.

What have you done for suspension?

I'm sorry, but I don't like it. The tabs on the lip look out of place. The wheels look like the tires are too small for the rims and the offset is too low. Please try to remember you are driving a German Luxury/Sports Sedan not a Honda Civic.
I was hoping to leave better feedback- I really liked those rims.

It's amazing how different people and styles fit different forums. Feedback is completely different elsewhere. thanks for your opinions, but I'm going to enjoy my car now.

Car looks great! Wheel fitment is on point... I would go with coilovers and lower the car a little more to make it a little more aggressive. Looks awesome!

...sometimes people wanna kraut out their car

+1 on the wheels/tires... Way too aggressive an offset and tires are stupid stretched in the rear. Prepare for sidewall blowout...

Otherwise I like the choices of wheel and lip. Still a shame the OP went for a VIP look rather than have proper offsets done... the drop looked amazing. Yuck.

Another round of ICE
No hate.....no love.....doesn't look particularly aggressive....just looks like you got the wrong size wheels, but I've seen others like that on this forum....and they did it on purpose too....

Enjoy your car!

offsets are a bit too aggressive for my taste but overall a nicely executed package. Car looks tastefully modded as is, don't overdo it..

He did not get the wrong offset's people! He was going for this look! The narrow tire choice causes the sidewall to stretch so you can go with a wider wheel and not have it rub the fender as easy. I think it looks great. Gonna be doing something very similar to my wife's car. Maybe not as aggressive in the rear but very close. Oh yeah "sidewall blowout" and "german luxury" wow. This car is a c350 "sport" not a s550. Come on people.
