Not bad at all .:reza:. 
Did the spacers affect the driving characteristics at all?
Do you have the original RF tyres on your 123's?
You wouldn't have any pics taken in the sun from straight behind, would you?

- Even though I have the active roll stabilization the car felt like the back end was sagging when going through high speed turns . After installing the spacers it gave it the wider stance obviously and the back end feels a lot more stable and solid while going through a turn.
- these tires are the bridgestone g-force tires
- I can probably take one or two today from behind , the lighting in that parking garage was a little to dark for that shot.

Bridgestone g-force meaning no Run Flats or Run Flats? Potenzas?

Did u install the wheels urself? how hard is it
I didn't put these on but I have 15mm H&R's on my racecar , it's not that hard.
- the tires are not run flats.
-driving in a straight line is fine , my tires have always been a little noisy due to the profile and the amount of air I keep in them.

I have also noticed, that in temperatures below 15 C the wheels are as bricks. Above 20 C OK.
The 15 mm spacers, I think, would look the best. Harmony with the front wheels.
