Re: I Would Like to Present...
Thanks for the kudos gents!
They're:
Stern ST 1's 20X9.5 35 Offset rear. (15 mm Hub-centrics).
Falken 452 275/30X20's.
Stern ST 1's 19X8.5 35 offset front. (10 mm Hub centrics).
Falken 452 235/35X19's
I used spacers ONLY to clear suspension components.
Vendors used:
WWW.tires-easy.com
WWW.elites-wholesale.com
www.ezaccessory.com/
I did a bunch of shopping and these had the best prices for what I could afford.
Thanks again!

I had the st1's in chrome on my limited great rim, But wow do they look sharp machined. Just a side note I lowered my car with the exact same set up you are running now, It was the Eibach kit I didnt have any problems. It looked sharp and completed the look, take a look in my Gallery.

And: What can one expect to pay for an Eibach kit? And to install it?
(Ok. I went looking. ~$265? How much is reasonable to install?)
I have stated before:
I AM a poser. I don't race. I do however like to look good. Or at least drive a CAR that looks good. With my wife. She looks good!
LMK?
Thanks, Max

Are you thinking about lowering the car next?

I bid $220 including shipping. They bit! As for quality, It looks like the plating is thick enough, and it was definitely "hot-dipped". But does not look like the photos. I've done a lot of work with plating different materials, and the only way to get the "mirror-brite" finish is with a process called "electroless nickel". But it would never work for brake rotors, I think. It's too hard and I think it would last too long 'cause it melts at ~2600 deg F.
But at least the hub and edge look nice and I hope will stay that way.
Frankly, if I did it again, I'd spring for the extra $ and go to Brakeworld and go with the DiscItalia.
