thanks.. i guess patience is a virtue.. it finally paid off.
What's next? The lorinser rear spoiler, and i want those dual exhaust + modified bumper ( i don't like the lorinser bumper.. i might have to mod stock bumper to accomodate dual exhausts).
The springs that are used were the H&R Cup Kit. This car is mostly done for cosmetics.. hardly ever will i use the car performance wise.

The wheels look fantastic!! Great pics.
The rear is a little low for my taste as well. Also, you may want to consider the clear side marker lights for your car. They make a huge difference in the appearance.
Someone had commented that you need to get rid of that front license plate. Some states require it, and I'm assuming that's a personalized one that you ordered?

My main concern was to get the wheels on the car which seemed like it took forever.

There appears to be a "gap" in the front between the tire and the wheel well, whereas the "gap" does not exist in the rear?
Other than that, nice job!!

Harris, I used the factory bump stops/spring pads with the H&Rs as recommended by the installation manual. I dunno why it sits lower then yours though.
I love the Pirellis, they are quiet.. but can't tell, the car only has 80 miles since i got it on but so far i can tell you they are really good tires.. only if they didn't wear out so quick.
Peter, i was going to e-mail you higher resolution pics tonight but it seems like you got to this thread sooner then i could e-mail you the pics.. thanks for your all your help and i greatly appreciate it..

yeah, I've seen HREs. Aren't they a Japanese based company? anyway, IMO they ain't all that. Carlsson, Brabus, AMG, and Lorinser all have much better looking rims, and they serve the same function at a cheaper price. I think most people are getting HREs because they have a pricier the better & showoff mentallity. Most probably didn't get the HREs because HREs are stronger forged and lighter. Just my opinion on the sworm of people rushing to get HREs.

p.s. it's not a japanese based company.

If i had gone with other wheels, i don't think the Rims would have fitted with out rubbing, being a custom made wheel, they made it to our specs and we changed the specs around to accomodate for the lowering.
