I bought the wheels new in the gunmetal powdercoat.
At this time I do not have any plans to lower the front...I may end up raising the back end up a little....just waiting to get it all back together after paint in March.....can hardly wait to get the paint done and put it all back together....so many pieces...

Looks nice.

If you have no plans to lower the front you may want to raise the rear a bit so there still some "rake" to the car. You don't want both ends the same height.

Well everybody has different tastes. I like the level look instead of the rake.

I think that the rear end is actually lower than the front....so yes I will have to raise the rear end some....like I said, I'll judge that after I finish painting it and have all of the wheel well covers back in place to see exactly how it looks....

It's not about personal taste/s, it's about the design of the car...and the car was designed to have a rake to it.
