I'd hold out for them. Such a good look, imo. Not something you see regularly, at all.

On Sunday, I removed the old tyres and spent the rest of the day cleaning and polishing the wheels to look like new.
Got new rubber fitted yesterday afternoon. I was surprised that each wheel balanced with only one small weight. I'll bolt the wheels on today. Then, I have to find some center cap stickers. I'll post some photos as soon as I'm done. |

The car was in showroom condition inside and out (not even a door ding) with zero mechanical issues. The problem with my 2007 was that the clear-coat began peeling off the paint everywhere and it started to look like shite! I loved that car, but looking at the paint made me very unhappy. It would have cost a small fortune to repaint. Anyway, I found a clean used 2104. This car is not as good looking IMHO as my 2007, and it doesn't have quite the build quality, but it's a great car, and I've grown to love it, too. |

Thanks for your interest and the comments. No, I don't plan to lower. I know it would look better with a mild drop, but I enjoy the ride comfort... plus, it already scrapes entering some driveways and parking lots at stock height! |

Absolutely love it. I don't think a mild drop would impact ride comfort at all. I'm running a fairly aggressive drop for springs and the ride comfort is the same as OEM. You would have to be more careful with sharp dips and driveway ramps, but the look would be oh so worth it.

I think you've hit on the main reason I don't drop the car. I know it would look good and I'd surely be more careful, but my wife drives this car to school everyday... and she just doesn't think about cars the way we do. |
