Wheels look good. And yeah 5 weeks is real fast to get some 3 piece wheels.

That finish is usually called a raw metal finish but not sure with SF wheels.

That color is a attention getter thats for sure.

Got my wheels and coils in as of yesterday but still need to lower it some more offset are 30 in the front 20x9 and 35 in the rear 20x10.5. They should tuck all the way arounf but worried about going lower with my lip kit being to low. The finish is called High Contrast Brushed Aluminum.

Not feeling it at all...tires look too stretched, which makes the sidewalls even more thin. The 1st pic makes the wheels seem like its about to pop out. Hey, but if it makes you happy...color is unique for sure.

I got the tire to stretch for one reason I plan on going air in the next couple of months so they need to tuck up into the body of the car.

The wheels and car are very nice.

Car looks good bro, not my style but proper. The wheels are only poked out cause the car is so high on these pictures. When you lower if they will tuck plenty 10 mm in the rear and about 20mm in thd front.

I think the car looks great! I also think your ride height is perfect... I wouldn't mess around with it any more.
