black wheels are welcome.

Iv put a pic below if anyone fancies doing a photoshop, and so that you can help
me decide if black wheels would actually suit the car.



These are the wheels im thinking of so far:


Thanks

How much is that lowered by and what product?

Do you have any probs with everyday driving on that drop ie; people in the back etc, tyres rubbing?

Brian

Hi Brian

Its down approx 50mm on Eibach coilovers. There is no rubbing from tyres, arches etc
i can have a full car with no problems at all. The only problem i get is with the front lip
behind the bumper, it rubs on speedbumps sometimes.
