Default Picking this beauty up mid week!

Well guys, after months of debating, I found a tastefully modded 09 with 50k miles on it in Miami. I went down today and test drove it and fell in love! Toms diffusers, CF spoiler, ISS forged exhaust, Joe Z intake, 2012 struts with swift springs, Vossen VFS2 wheels










I love everything about it. The only concern is i live in a area where there are a LOT of steep driveways and being that its lowered (2012 struts and swift springs) the back has a tendency to rub(i carry people around quite often in in the back of my vehicles (Vossen vfs2 20x10.5 34 offset with 295's) and fronts20x9 32 offset for the front. What do y'all think would be the best route to go. The fenders are already rolled.
Also how strong are these wheels in regards to bad roads while riding on such thin rubber

Try and sell them on here/Trade for 19s with less aggressive set up?

I live in Daytona and would love to meet up with anyone in the area ( Orlando, Jacksonville, Tampa) once i get her!

SO EXCITED GUYS!

Nice car
You can't not enjoy it.
For the wheels, well, most Vossens are cast. They're not the most robust wheel, but as long as you stay out of craters and go sideways on inclines you'll be more than fine.
Congrats

Congrats on the purchase. It was nicely modded before, so there's less money needed to get those parts, very quality parts at that. Enjoy it to the fullest!

Thank guys! I'm really excited. Once I transfer the funds over and she is all mine I'll be able to sleep easy. I am going to swap the rims out for the stock ones as I can't have a rubbing issue.
I look forward to getting to know everyone on here and hopefully some local southeast meets.
