ugggh to be honest those things look horrible w/o a drop. my very first reaction when i saw the first picture was like OMFG who is this guy putting on such ugly ass wheels. now with the photoshopped picture, it LOOKS really really good. drop it my friend it's turns a girl who is a 3 to a 9

+1
When 99% people here are shouting "drop it" for 5 thread pages long, then there's gonna be good reason why.

if you ask me for my frank opinion, i would rather put stock wheels back if you aren't gonna drop it.

That was one of the best ones so far to let me know I should drop the car.

NOT.. .. but i will thank my wonderful tan to the tanning salon here on stinky island.. for making me look as fake as possible...(with no tan lines )

All the xi's have the gap because of the all wheel drive system. This is the trade off, you get all wheel drive but get stuck with the height and no sport suspension.

Rick..
You can get sport suspension on the xi. I have ordered an xi w/sport one month ago. Not sure if there will be much of a difference in ride height vs a non-sport. I guess I shoud have measured one of each at the dealer. At least I got the staggered 18s. The car is a lease for my wife...no mods for her(me).
