Yea that is pretty far..

I thought about having them redone too.. but meh.. so many other things to spend on.

About how much would your shop charge for that?

No idea. Haven't got that far in the thought process.

i love the comments from the anti black i cant see them crowd... yes, a cell camera with bad lighting makes it difficult to see the wheels, but have you ever not been able to see them in person with your own peepers??

Not to worry, No one will ever miss your tacky chrome.

To the OP... The wheels look great on the AW

Definitely need to get the rear end of the car down. It looks like the rear has a jack under it. Lowering bolts should work.

I'm almost mad at myself for not ordering 18s.. I looked at different tire sizes to fill in the gap but it doesn't seem like anyone makes a 275/45/17, just the 285 or 275/40/17 is all i can find.

I know there are better options for 18" tires. I guess ill start searching for a good lowering bolt thread..
