Rims and a drop
So I decided that my rims were too jacked up to just stay the way they were. And then I decided that my ride height was too high. The OEM rims I had were re-pained solid gunmetal (even the lip) and had a good bit of curb rash. I played around with maybe getting new rims, but decided to not go that route and refinish them. Then I decided to lower my car. I still need to lower the rear end more, though. Maybe another 1/2" or 1". All in all I'm very pleased with the outcome.

Can you show me where you got the center caps? I ordered a similar style from Japan but they aren't flush with the wheel. (Or are yours not flush either, it's hard to tell)
What kind of CF inserts did you do?

They aren't flat. They have a slight rounding to them, but they look and feel great. Not a sticker. The CF is just CF vinyl. Not sure the brand, but def not 1080 or dinoc. I was suprised when I saw them on there. If I would have known he was planning CF I would have told him to go buy 1080 or dinoc.

I like what you've done with the wheels. Car looks very clean. Just be sure to fix the rear and take more pics
BTW the front rotors look very bumpy and look like they got a lip. Have them smoothed out if possible and new brake pads
