First, the car just does not look that low. Not sure what H&R lower the car, but it really looks to be about stock height. Added this. Second read and look at your pics, I see the car is in fact lowered a bit.
Second, just 'adding' flairs does not give clearance for wider tires. It's not the flairs that the tires hit; it's the body under them. Did you cut or reshape the fenders under the flairs?
I can see this possibly working if the car has not been lowered, but still no way it will not rub in certain conditions, such as passenger(s) in the back, hard cornering with some bumps, and just plain bumpy roads.
So, what's the actual deal here?

Yes. You've got to provide more details on what you've got there.

the flares dont look right at all

Moskito: Dark, but those spokes look good. Are the tires 215s? I'm considering aftermarkets instead of trading for R83s because I think black would work for my car, but the spoke pattern is critical. The spokes ought to look more purposeful than stylish. The Exel looks about right. Thanks for posting.
