Here is my car before the lowering. I was considering selling my wheels in the past, but decided to see if they will look better with a lowering kit.

Sasha - I used to different digital cameras, so that is where we get the picture distortion and poor quality on the second one...

Brent - yeah...I was a big decision because I was going to buy the H&Rs, but to have the dealership install them was going to cost me 430 plus alignment...argh, so I decided to have the Eibachs installed because my friend works at a Belle Tire and they deal with only Eibach...they had a law suit when installing some guys aftermarket springs that were not meant for his car. I was running stock shocks, but the ride is almost better than stock! My install was only 500 with the springs, so doing shocks in the future will not be a problem.

I am very glad I kept these wheels!

Sasha - I will post some high quality pics soon. Might be heading out to the track soon to see how much slower my car is so I will keep ya posted on when we go...

MikeGS4PE - Ah, car looks a LOT better lowered!

You know, in the second picture, the wheels look a LOT better since it DOESN'T look chrome...they actually look pretty good since you can see the DESIGN of the wheel...

Hmmmm, maybe the Piaa Rozza's would look pretty good on the GS then (since it's a similar style)...I've only seen them in black on a black GS and it didn't look good...but the wheels in silver might look great...
