You got a pic of what the Ralliart tails look like smoked? Was thinking of getting them and doing the same thing.

Im going to order some up next weekend for my b-day. I can't wait, im wondering how long shipping will take (im only 6 hours or so away from wheeldude.) I've got a black lancer going with the same flat black grids. Im not sure if i want to lower it just yet. The gap isnt as noticable since everything is black but i know itll look way better IMO i figure most others just wont notice/care? Iono well see what happends once i get them on there if i wanna lower or not.

Have you had any issues on your car being lowered ? have you ever driven a lowered car prior to the spring you just got on? Im just worried im going to **** up somthing going to fast...Do you have to go into driveways and speedbumps at angles? 1.5 inches doesnt seem like much but hey it could be a HUGE difference.....lemme know man !!

PS. I Love your wheels...=)

EDIT: What center caps are those btw ??

They look like the centercaps that come with the Rota wheels, need the bigger ones. And they look like they are just painted black over the Rota logo.

Yes, lowering will make a difference. In looks and feel. Depends on the driveway, but I try to angle my car when going over large ones. I don't even attempt to go on my mom's driveway. I have a few scratches underneath the front bumper (but they are underneath, so who cares). There is also a lip under the front of your car, that's what will hit the most. No big deal. I've learned to drive slower and on a look out at driveways / speedbumps / potholes.

Love my rims though.

You used these? http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/pro...roducts_id=709

WheelTek spacers, $10/each (3mm, 5mm,8mm, and 10mm)

I know you said you used a 5mm spacer, but do you think our lugs are long enough for a 10mm spacer? I'm guessing not. Also, did you use a hubcentric ring?
