Looking good!

 

WOW!

Stunning!

Very nice.

Brushed?

Clearcoated?

Sizes?

 

Looks good, but IMO you should lower your car

 

I agree lowering it would look much better. A few things worry me about lowering it, however:

1. Scraping. I already want to cry when it scrapes. It will just get worse.
2. Ruining my PASM. Numourous posts on this and other forums recommend against lowering.
3. Cost. I am not sure it's worth it to me personally to spend a few grand to lower it an inch or so. Especially considering points 1&2 above.

I will do some research and figure out the pros and cons but as of now, I paobably won't do it.

 

Thanks. That's exactly the right response.

They're brushed and clearcoated. I investigated getting them powdercoated black. I decided to roll with the brushed for a while and if/when they start to show wear, I'll get them PC'd.

 

I use to baby my first car, dare I say a bit of a Garage queen, now I am a lot harder on the car. The scrapes will happen regardless of how you try to take care of it. It is a car, and can get fixed.

Lowering the car is like dotting the i's or crossing the t's IMO.

 

i tried so hard to get these wheels for my audi years back. they look great. nice and clean, and very sporty. i don't think lowering is a big must... if you have any concern.

 

looks good!!

 

Those wheels look fantastic,congrats !

They look great. I am with Northvan I like the lower look but everyone is different.

 

I just today received a set made for my 360 by iForged. They are all brushed and clearcoated.

Tomorrow they are going to a local wheel shop to be turned so the clearcoat will be removed from the lips and they will be polihsed. Stunning combo and similar to what I have now only these are bigger rims (8.5 frt and 12 rears) and I am using the GT2 tire combo with PS2 Cups.

Consider doing that unless you have heavy winters and drive daily.

I would not do powder coat. I think they look best as they are and offer just the perfect contrast to your beautiful car.

 

Nice. If i saw just those rims I would not like them, but on your car they look great.

Good choice on the brushed finish, chrome is too flashy.

Enjoy.

 

Very true and that black is stunning.

I am warming to that color for a 4S cabrio.

 

Looks good - very Kenisis F110 like, but thicker. I would lower it, dont worry about a scrape now and then. I just ordered the PASM Billstein Damptronics and they are amazing!
