Was a bit worry about it might rubbing after I drop it. Other than that I would have got it lower..

Where did you get your rims from and how much if you dont mind me asking? With the lower offset would you have gotten a fat lip on the rears?

I got the rims from Macklin, through LMS. Their one piece forge rims that why you dont see a big fat lip on it. Personally not into the big lips on rims. The rims were i think about 3k more or less, and to get black chrome and tire was $$$$.

Wow are you serious? If you say you paid closer 2x the amount that was mentioned above, you could have gotten a nicer set of HRE's for that amount.

Actuall guys I did a lot of research in rims. Going through countless one HRE, WORKS, VOLKS, etc.. I wanted one that was different and unquie. One off. Couldnt find one that I really like without changing it same way or another. The 8k price not quite there but close for rims and tire. But there 2 things that makes the car the rims & turbo/supercharger. But that my opinion.....

More power to you for having a different look to your progressive ME's. Although for the price you paid to have the rims dipped by MHT, I would take them back to see if they can fix the runs/imperfections they left in your wheel's chroming process. Myself and a few others noticed them at the Aerotect BBQ with .net a few weekends ago.

Actually when I first got them they were fine. No inperfection on it. What you see was either dirt or some sort of wear and tear. It aint no show car rims but a daily driven car.....

Actually there are a couple runs in the chroming process where MHT the company i'm assuming LMS sent your wheels to have black chromed rushed the job. It wasn't dirt because your wheels were clean at the meet that day. I can point them out to you at the next Aerotect Meet coming up if you wish. I saw alot of the uneveness on your front right wheel.

Shoot me a PM if you have questions.
