I dont think the wheels fit the car at all. They look like they would better benefit a Civic or Accord. The extra 15mm of lip would have been nicer, as well.There seems to be no difference in the wheel gap either.Oh, by the way, nice car!Cheers

I think the wheels look good. I can tell that the car is sitting slightly lower, nothing drastic, but enough to get rid of some space between the fender and the tire.

That's a fresh install right? They will settle a bit more within the next week or two depending upon your driving habits. I too have the TEIN springs and they settled perfectly For me* after about 1000 miles.

Not too shabby at all... I still think black rims look the best on our silver cars... but it's allllll good! Now you need to get some drilled brakes for that puppy and paint the rotors Brembo-gold and you're good to go. Looks good though.

Thanks for the pics!!! Looks awesome. I wish they were a little lower but I think I am done waiting for another company to make springs. I may just end up buying these.

Just something to think about for those of you who want a lower drop. I too have TEIN springs and love the look/feel. Could it be lower? Sure, but at what price? I have had cars that were dumped and they are a real PITA to drive/maintain. IMO, this car should dropped in a manner in which everything can remain as close as possible to factory spec--alignment, feel, etc. I had four adults in my car last week and no one had a clue that the car was dropped--no rubbing, no harsh ride, nothing.

If I want a really low stance I'll just put it on air, but for my needs/goals the TEIN springs are perfect.

I've got the same color with 20in zenetti stelas. I've been wondering if the tein springs are worth the money but it looks like it. I can see the drop. Your car looks good almost mint condition but its looks like the painter did a bad job on blending your front and back bumper.

Most ABS plastic bumpers will react differently to paint IME, they rarely if ever match. Even if you lool at OEM bumpers, the same is true.
