Hello all and thanks for the feed-back!

I am very happy with the wheels! I was a little surprised as I thought it would look crazy without drop but in real life it already looks ok. But that doesn't mean I don't want to drop it...

Other mods contemplated (as shown in my signature) are indeed shadowline trim and M-sport body kit. I'd also love to get an M-sport steering wheel.

And btw, what does BALLER mean? Sorry for the ignorance...

Not sure if I want that, purely based on looks. And when factoring in questions from local law enforcement I'm going to give it a miss... The wheels without spacers I could possible talk my way out of but no way with spacers!

Great car color and the wheels look terrific.

Fantastic looking wheels. Don't fall into the pressure of this forum re: dropping your car. If you like it the way it is, keep it. I think it looks great. I wish they made those with an xi offset...OEM, but they don't. Wheels are MINT.
