Nice, but I'll state the obvious, your car is sitting 1-1.5 inches too high. As are all of ours. Love the wheels. I have now drinken Jeremys Koolaid, 19s are the minimum

You should build your car around those wheels! I'd get the sport styling package (front, rear, side and rear spolier). My dream package would be Arden with the clear side markers and Arden pedal covers...but it would cost you dearly Mina is a lowr cost alternative.

Also, polish the headlamps.

A little lowering (I personally think Jeremy's is a little too extreme, but the rest of the aesthetics on his car is fantastic, especially the wheels).

Hey,

Looks great, If you want a cheap project, Get some 3M Scotchcal Metalic Silver Vinyl (double check the color) to cover up the chrome, and side markers. But make sure local laws are still not being broken, some states require sidemarkers.

BTW, do you have any vid clips of the exhaust Sest?

Looks nice man. I have that same color (I think). Is that the quartz metallic paint? Those are staggered 20's? I wanted to order the 19" staggered but the guy said 19x9.5 wouldn't find the rear of my car because it would rub the fenders. I'm sooooooo confused. LOL

These are ET40 though, so they are 15mm in further than the ones you wanted to order.

I know because these are my old wheels

I assume you can't have any tire on the rims because they'd rub? Wheels look good but I couldn't sport rims that don't have the lip showing on my car. I'd say 20" is too big but I don't want to rain on your parade.

What are your next plans? The exhaust looks good. As stated cleaning it up with some silver vinyl to get rid of the chrome would look good.
