Hey- It's enough for us. I've got enough for everything I need, including highway driving above treeline. Some people are power hungry, some are humble.

Those look nice. Are they real split rims or are they fakes?

Does the center part of the wheel; spoke area, sit outward from the rim? Or, is it just the way I'm looking at it?

They look good, can't wait to see them fitted!
Anyway, I checked and my TDs are matte black, not the shiny one.

Yes, the center sits up about 1/2" from the lip.

Are you talking to me? Are you serious? It'd be hard to lower it more. Or should I say, it'd be hard to live with.

Nice wheels, particularly on that car, Dan.
I think some people don't notice that the photo (like the one above) is taken from a low vantage point. They might think there is all kinds of room in the wheel well; show them the same car with the camera at eye view and they might get it. Or park it on a lawn so that the front air dam touches the grass.
BTW is that car still on Mach V springs?

I think different people just have different definitions of low.
I think his car looks great (especially the new wheels). It could go an inch lower to tuck a little which would look sweet, but its understandable why one wouldn't if they didn't want to deal with the task of driving a low car every day.

I agree, this is plenty low enough for me. Stock wheels/tires/Mach V springs. Less than 1.5 in clearance.
(oops, just realized this is straying from the topic...)

Around 21.5 pounds, I think. (Sorry, forgot to weigh them before the tires went on.)
