Yeah.. That was most of the compliments I got as well.

What always make me laugh a little on the inside is when I would take my car somewhere they would write down the color, it was always different; gray, green, blue, teal....

I would always think to myself in my younger days; So if I get a ticket, and they screw up the color of the car, do I still have to pay it?

And to think, I was interested in Silver, they didn't have my combo so the other color they had available was BlueSlate. I am so glad I went with this color because I love it more and more everyday.

I like it.
I like what you did, looks great all around. I hear you for the 20 and the slammed look but don't forget kids like bling bling things. I prefer not to scrape on every speed bump in town....

The GT30's are the perfect wheels for our cars. I would personally go for the 20's but your 19's still look great. Too bad I'm spending so much money on my computer that I can't afford anything aftermarket for my ride....

20mm spacers installed. Really digging the stance now. So far no rubbing.

^^^Looks good. Are you lowered at all? If not, rubbing probably won't be an issue.

Sorry. I should have looked more closely.

2 inches? That's quite a bit, and it's awesome that you aren't having any rubbing issues. I just recently lowered my car and put some spacers on, but have a some minor rubbing to deal with.

Ha, look at the difference. It's lower now since it's settled but you can totally tell the difference.

Oh yeah! That's a HUGE difference.

It really is amazing, BTW, how significant a difference in appearance the spacers make. I mean, we're talking moving the wheels mm's and it just totally changes the visual stance of the car.

^ Ya the X model (AWD) has more wheel gap than the sport from the factory. I'm happy with 2" considering our roads, snow, etc...

Honestly, I contemplated spacers because I didn't think it was a big deal. Well since I bought the Volks and are pretty conservative, I thought by giving it some spacers would make it a bit more aggressive. Though it's only 20mm, in person, it is a MAJOR change and looks awesome. Who would've thought right?

Very nice looking. And as others have said: clean. Very tastefully done.

Do you have issues hitting the stops? The stance is perfect, but I am curious how close you are to possible wheel rub or the struts hitting the stops.

20 mm is almost an inch (0.8"), which as you pointed out makes a big difference!

Thank you sir. So far after a few days and 100+ miles on the highway and bumpy side streets, no wheel rum. I even have a 50+lb system in the trunk and am still good. Guess I just lucked out.

Thanks man. It totally made the stance more aggressive. I will post pics real soon of the full car.

Crazy how even an inch makes a world of a difference. Compliments the wheels and drop nicely. Can't stop staring at it. LOL
