Thanks for all the replies guys!
Even the comments about what u don't like. I appreciate it.
Had I been on this forum before I bought my rims chances are I would have something different, like the miro 111..
However, its the set up I got now, but i def have some work to do
Learnt lots from u guys- thanks
Jon, As I'm sure you know, at the end of the day its all about what makes you happy and remembering that its a work-in-progress. There are no "right" answers regarding how your car should look. As others suggest; whatever floats your boat. I'm not so happy with my Lexani wheels either and soon enough I would like to change to the Breyton GTSR-M wheels with an even more aggressive offset and spacing. All in due time I imagine.

Your car would look better if you lower it more. The blackout theme is not complete without a crazy drop imo. But then again, it's your car, and it's up to you what you wanna do to it. One thing is for sure, though. I saw your sig, and I noticed that you might wanna get the BMS Powerbox sometimes in the future. I can tell you now that it's not possible. Your car is a 2004, which means it still has the M54 engine. The BMS Powerbox is only for the N52/53 engine. Sorry. But you can still get the RPi scoop, and you can always get the BMC Filter. It's a very nice filter.

Thanks for being the Bad news bear!
That's okay. More money to save and spend on somethig else.. Hmmmmm..
Rpi scoop I really want but don't want to get raped on duties when it crosses the boarder to Canada
I can't find any if rpi products locally :thumbsdown:

And 110% i want to lower my car. I am very disappointed with the drop. I didn't want to slam it on the floor like these vdubs, sp I went with 1.2 all around and it's okay, looks better then stock, but def not low enough.. I think I have to get a full set of adjustable Coilovers.. I have so much work to do to the car I dot know where to spend my money first

Jon,
My car has not been lowered at all...but it may be in the works also. The 20 profile tire gives a lil' optical illusion of being closer to the ground.
