I think the 'after' look is perfect,....the 'before' just rode too high for me. Like a 4x4.

after does look better, but if it's the stock front suspension I'd bet you very close to being on the bump stops right now.

After looks a little too low to my eye, and also looks like it seriously compromises the ride, handling and your ability to drive the car unless you've done a lot of work beyond just lowering it. I'm not a "looks before function" guy, and would rather drive a car that sits "high" but handles and rides well and can be driven without fear of speed bumps.

yeah, no one seems to be a fan of the wheels in pictures. People like them in person...but, I will be changing them when money allows to spend 4k on wheels. more pressing needs with the car right now

Too shiny and not enough dish from what I can see....just too flashy for a showy color like Plum Crazy.

A grey-faced or cast-colored wheel would look so much more at home there,IMHO.
