Love the rims!!
What a coincidence, though... I have Alufelgen SF-71 on my 5 too ;-) Mine are Hyperblack, though, which is still pretty light, but nicely works with my Stallion's sapphire black color.
Maybe, you can try a different color.. e.g. Gunmetal (?), just in case you may want more contrast..?
As far as your current choice is concerned, though, I do really like the combo, especially slightly lowered. - Good choice!

photoshop!
OP - I am in the same boat as you w/ non sport, your car looks good but I agree with others on the fact that you should powder coat the wheels and drop it. The chrome has to go as well.... nice job though so far!

Thanks! and Got an appointment for Shadowline install on the 9th
Thanks man - your ride looks sweet!
Thanks for the shopped pics - helps... a little
Damn right - no way!!! I'm gonna try the H&R's and if they look even a 1/4 of an inch too low - I'm getting the KW's for the ultimate ability to adjust ride height.
