We'll see how it looks dropped and I'll see if I change my mind. 
The lip throws me off as well to quote my friend "your car looks like a damn beamer coz of the classy wheels and lip in the back" we associate the wider lip to a RWD car so it looks weird on an Evo. Also, since the car is off roading height right now it even makes it worse. I need to drop it ASAP it looks too fugly. Any donations to buy me a Muellerized Suspension Fund is greatly appreciated so we can see how it looks when its droppe like so...
Photochopped!!!!!

This whole time I thought it was +33 all around. There is at least an inch clearance from the caliper for both the front and back.
For the potential new Buyers!
Its 18x9 +34 R-Disk in the front and 18x9 +33 O-Disk in the back.

The fact of the matter is, if you hadn't criticized and instead chose to endorse the idea, we wouldn't be adding to the melee. You chose the opposite path and instead used it as an opportunity to flip me off with your avitar and a personal attack. You are, in fact, part of the problem. What, should I just NOT say anything to your erroneous and misplaced criticism? Give me a break....If a teacher in a classroom has to raise her voice and tell the children to stop yelling, is that person a hypocrite? I think not. Semantics. No wonder the English say we can't speak!
Hey, I'm enthusiastic as the next guy about his wheels. I certainly don't have an overwhelming need to put this insignificant enthusiasm into type and the person who started the thread certainly doesn't need my affirmation he has exceptional rims. I'm pretty sure he's intelligent enough to have done the research and spent his hard-earned money on something worthwhile. Sure, it's nice to get a few "great rims" but quite a few EvoM threads have an overwhelming number of posts adding nothing to the discussion. It's just a waste of space and time for others who have to perverse through 20 (or more) pages of people who like to hear themselves talk. It's just a courtesy. This forum should be about discussion, not hand holding.
In closing, why should I let your erroneous retort be the last word in the matter? You came out and criticized me, incorrectly, for adding to the topic in a mendacious manner. For you to say I don't have the right to reply directly to your post is in fact the real hypocrisy. Where do you get off?

Yet your last few posts have had no pertinence to ArcticHaze's topic at hand, but are just adding to the pages of overabundant posts that you find problematic. How is this any different than the numerous registered members of this community sharing ArcticHaze's excitement regarding his new wheels and giving him compliments on a well-made decision? At least all the props being thrown around actually pertain to the thread topic.
Telling me you at least had the ********* to say something and calling me a fornicating vagina gets you nowhere in disproving yourself as a hypocrite. I'm through challenging your supposed omniscience of the English language …
I apologize to ArcticHaze and all the other supporting members about taking this thread
Now let's take a look at those bad-*** Work wheels under the fenders of your IX!

How is the ride?
Hello,
I really like the Works rims.. One question though, How have they affected the handling of the car? Does it seem slower than stock? Also, does it have a harsher ride?
Thanks!
Pete
