Got my new wheels and springs put on...
Springs - nice...the drop isn't too much, so it looks good.
Wheels - normally, dark rims with a polished lip look awesome, but these don't look good at all in the pictures. For some reason, the polished black doesn't go well with the graphite grey (only in my opinion). I also detest multi-spoke rims like that. Of course, your stock rims (and mine) were multi-spoke to begin with...
How much lighter are those rims than the stock BBS rims? If they are significantly lighter, then I couldn't care less what they look like, because the performance gain would be worth it. If they are heavier, well...
One last thing, I bet they look a ton better in person than in photos like most rims do.

You also hit the nail on the head in reference to the carbon fiber parts. I think the reason why it doesn't quite look right (to me) is because there are no black highlights elsewhere on the car (other than the top of the wing that can't really be seen) to properly coordinate with the black rims. Once you have the CF stuff, then the wheels will coordinate and probably look amazing.

Did you use Tein S-techs? What's up with some people saying you need a camber kit when lowering and some say you don't need it? I've read multiple threads and can't get a straight answer. I want to drop mine using Tein S-techs, but don't want to wear my Advans. They're expensive enough with normal wear!
