My new Works Xd9 bronze rims on PWP!
My Work Emotions 18x8 Bronze Xd9 +45 arrived today and what a beautiful rim it is! I went with Hankook Ventus V12 tires 225/40/18. I might need to lower the car some more to fill in the gaps that the 19's left.

^Maybe because it's not low enough?
Yea I think the car needs to be lower too.... They look really good now but if you drop it a tad more, it will look

Thank you everybody for your comments! i will take positive feed back anytime of day. WOW! lower?!? i thought i was low enough dealing with drive ways, speed bumps and such here in SOCAL. How much lower you think i should go? an inch all around? half an inch? let me know and i will def take the advice and snap more pics of the outcome.

Slam that baby! 
Seriously though, I think an inch more all around would be good. I was at the same height as you before when I put my new wheels on and most people sugguested that I drop it more.... My car looks WAY better and I know it will be the same for you too.... Try it out, you won't be dissapointed....
As far as drivibilty, you're already lowered so it won't be a drastic difference when it comes to ride quality....

I have Tein Basic's as well and I've already adjusted 3 times and I now have the perfect drop that was looking for.... I'm only running 18x7.5 +45, not agressive at all, no spacers and no rolled fenders. But I do planned on on getting 15mm spacers for the rear to bring them out more, probably then I'll have to roll my rear fenders. I'll post some before and after shots by Saturday so you can see the difference that an inch makes.....

Well here they are, the pics I promised. Sorry for the crappy quality but you will get a good sense of what I was talking about before....
I believe I went down about an inch all around...

Again sorry for the crappy quality but I think you can see what I meant about how an inch makes a difference. Hopes this helps.

No problem...
Yea I just took a look at it... You're right, the front of your car looks lower than my before pic. Looking forward to seeing the adjustement.
Also I think the A-Spec body kit would really make the car look sick... I'm in the process of saving some money for it... It makes a huge difference....

Thanks man! Your car is looking sick too!
Yea I was having the same dilemma but I decided to get the A-Spec kit because of money. Even though the Euro-R kit is sick, it's really is expensive and takes a really long time to get here. So I'm contempt with A-Spec kit, it's going to look sweet either way IMO....
I have a close friend who is a really good photographer but I want to wait until I do a couple of things to the car so that it really looks nice. I need to get the A-Spec kit, paint my calipers black (red is played out already IMO lol) and do some minor things before I do a professional shoot. But when I do the shoot, I'm definitely going to post it here....
