Very nice. How much did they set you back? Where did you get them from?

I think the wheels were a little over $3k. I got them directly from Iforged.

Personally, I think if the rear were any lower it would look like ***, i.e., slammed like a ricer. IMO once there is not even a small gap between the top of the tire and the fender lip (or even worse, the fender lip is lower than the top of the tire), a car starts looking as dorky as one with a 4" gap. My personal preference is a slightly raked look with about a 2 finger gap in the rear and 1-2 fingers in the front. My front could stand to go down slightly so that it at least matched the rear, but from reading a couple of long posts on that issue it sounds like you really shouldn't lower just the front but need to to lower both ends the same amount. If that's the case, I'll probably leave it just like it is. My wife has already scraped the underside of my front facia , which is another good reason not to lower it any further.

I agree... you need that gap. Nice sled.
