not so far...somehow it's stiffer but not as harsh/jarring as stock. not sure how that works but whatever. Yea lowered pretty good...I'll take pics tomorrow...hope to go a little bit more on summer tires but whatever. Only cons is squeaks more than the stock shit did but I can get over that and camber plates will never be 100% quiet but you can only hear them if you listen hard. Car feels much more connected

Best way is to box em up and weigh them and have the buyer print you a shipping label.

Trying to decide if i want to ditch these and get some matte black ones. Maybe VMR v710. Then maybe going 18 instead of 19. God I wish I would just be happy with my car.

Well, being I went black with my kidney's, lower grill, side markers, roundels, and turn signals, I cant go back to my style 230s. So its A/S on these rims or a whole new set on A/Ss.

Currently the options are, new black VMR v710, black breytons, or painting my current ones.

And all deciding if I want to go down to 18in rims.

ha, i thought we agreed that you and I dont see eye to eye on wheels.

Also, could you post a couple pics of your powder coated rims? How much was that, cause I am getting quoted 600 to do my 4 and thats just buy new rims territory.

I looked at them today after my detail, paint has held up really well this winter.
