Attached are a few pics of it in the low position and then in the loading position. I purchased a set of lowering links as well.

To those worried about ride quality.., I had 18's on here before. Going up to 22's, w/ a 35 series tire.. I don't notice any difference in ride quality. Feels the same as before.

Thanks for all your guys advice on what color wheel to choose.., I'm happy w/ these and I'm very glad they are hubcentric.., thats what steered me away from the ebay wheels. I couldn't confirm if they were hubcentric or not and that is a ***** if they aren't. Other car had 22s and just shook at 70+ mph. Plus these wheels are priced cheap.. again thanks!

It did turn out better than I would've expected too. Congrats.

But are you sure you don't notice a harsher ride with the drop links? I have Toyos on my 22in Rinspeeds too and the ride is harsh.

Do you know how many mm's or inches you dropped it? I know at the lowest setting on the freeeway its really bumpy at high speeds.

Looking good! I actually bought wheels off of Ebay but mine turned out to be great and just like you, I don't feel any difference in ride quality at all...I went from 19s to 22 though.
