New wheels on! 18x7.5 ASA AR2!
My new wheels finally came in today. They are 18x7.5 +48 ASA AR2 w/ Avon Tech 550 XL mounted on them. I'm dropped on Tein SS.
Tell me what you all think:

Reason why I decided to purchase a 4-door automatic. I cannot go any lower, might have to raise it up a little bit because I rubbed a few times todays in a few big dips on the highway. Houston roads FTL.

LOOKS PERFECT.
I used to have ASA AR1s on my '03 Passat, and I loved them. I've never seen the AR2s in person, and the TireRack makes them look quite odd in their "view on your vehicle" system. I'm seriously considering them for my TSX now!
And I don't think it needs to be any lower at all... ride height is great... if anything, I would raise it a hair.

if you increase the drop you will probably actually rub less.
