No the car is not lowered. I had to wait over 3 months to get them.

Looks very sharp. Can you fit an MB center cap on those?

Get rid of that orange side markers. Color code paint or tint should do the trick.

Nice townhomes too... I'm in the market for one.

Very nice wheels, I am sure they are lighter than those OEM Anchors.

From where did you get them and how much did they cost?, are they available in 19''.

You can buy these anywhere that sells Rays wheels. I bought mine through evasive motorsports (sells more Japanese car stuff but they can get it too).

they are availablein 18 and 19 only.

I can't wait to pick up mine next week and lower the car.

Yes you can get them in 19". I think retail is around 850ish a wheel. I have a good friend at Mackin that took care of me.
