Looks good. They remind me of a factory rim but cannot remember what car.

They look like a combo of the higher end i45 wheel and ix35 wheel and also remind me of the Dualis Ti wheels (which i like)

Just ordered new lowering springs  30mm on the back 35mm on the front .then when fitted see how it looks then time to do adjustable  rear trailing arm kit from shark racing  :winker:

Looks good :goodjob2: I've to do the lowered springs soon myself too but at a 20mm drop I shouldn't have to worry about the rear arms :Good_luck: but if I do it's an extra $200.

I think 20mm all round should  be fine  so you shouldn't have to buy adjustable arms but they do give you a lot more flexible in personalised set up  :victory:

Yeah I'm hoping there is enough standard adjustment built in, I don't need to personalise to much as I only want to close up a little of the gap and I'm not racing so don't need serious camber adjustment, making sure the tyres don't wear on the insides is all I'm concerned with :)

Yeh good point  about the tyres but  20mm should be absolutely fine on standard arms  :happydance:

M8 sweet wheels I'd definitely get new arms 20mm drop your car will have a really nice stance  :goodjob:

Thanks :) just have to wait and see how it turns out once it's lowered, being a euro model ( independent rear ) there is more play to work with so the arms hopefully aren't needed.
