OP Springs will drastically change the appearance of the car if you go low enough, and spacers will complete the look if youre on a budget.

I have s techs, it'll drop it enough for everyone on Azine to notice, and everyone else to think its oem, which is what I am going for. Thought about getting spacers but idk how I feel, seems like a lot of people have problems with them. On another note, BMW Audi and others all look very good with oem rims, that's cause their body style and springs are already set to compliment each other. I will achieve this same look with oem wheels, I just need some time.

Which is why im buying stechs. Run Ichibas, i cant ever remember seeing a bad thread on ichibas. Theyre about 120 a pair, So $240 in spacers
and they come with studs

V6 and i4 wheels are different. 18's with a drop will look good whether it's OEM or Aftermarket.

I didn't get any photos of Dave wheels. I think they looked good plasti dipped but might look better if you plasti dipped center cap.

yes, do like what I suggested. Buy embossed centercaps for like $15 then you can paint just the raised part. that's my plan
