Hey everyone! I did a search, but can't find exactly what I'm looking for. It seems that most aftermarket wheel set-ups are running lowered as well. Does anyone have pictures of a vert (preferrably a GTS Blue if I can be so picky) that has aftermarket wheels with the stock ride height? I noticed some pics with 360 Forged or HRE wheels, but they're either photo shoped or the car's lowered. Any wheel style would be fine, but I just want to know what the car would look like if I swapped wheels without lowering the car. I'm thinking of going 19" front and 20" back, but may stick with 18's and 19's. Thanks in advance for any help!

Let me see if I can find a set of my Modular Concepts before I lowered the car.

Andy, thanks so much for taking the time and posting the pics. I could have sworn I saw these pics previously, and those (along with another car I remember) was what I searched for with no luck. If you've posted pics previously like I think you have, I apologize for you digging them back up again.

There is a lot of gap between the wheels/tires and fenders. Is your set-up exactly the same overall height as the factory wheel/tire set-up? If so, I can see why you call it a 4x4 look.

In person, do you think it just looks completely rediculous, or do you think some people would be ok with the looks. In the pics, I don't think I could live with the look without lowering the car. Problem is, I'm not too excited about doing that since I already find challenging spots entering certain areas I visit frequently. Also concerned about ride quality and any challenges the lowering set-up would cause other mechanical components.

Hey No Problem Man!

In person it did not look nearly that bad. In pictures you would notice it because I like to shoot the car from a low position which makes it look worse. If I had shot the car from a higher position say eye level down it would visually close that gap.

I do like mine lowered though it does look much better.

Hope this helps!

That's what I thought. Have you had any issues with your car being lowered? I'll do a search on that as well, since I'm sure the subjects been asked numerous times. If I was to lower the car, I'd probably only go the "conservative" route. Maybe 1/2" or so???

Motons would be cool, but man are they expensive!
