I like the ride height.

The wheels will probably look a lot better when the car has paint to match them.

Nice wheels..........[8D]

I have these sitting in some boxes in my lounge room;

Product ID: F1057969 Description: Legend 17x9 5/4.5 5.25" Backspace -
Price: $279.95 Quantity: 2 Amount: $559.90
Product ID: F1057869 Description: Legend 17x8 5/4.5 4.5" Backspace -
Price: $269.95 Quantity: 2 Amount: $539.90

I think they are the same wheel in 17". I went with 5.25 backspacing on the rear, but with the
aftermarket disks fitted I am tight on clearance. Probably 5.5" backspacing would have worked
better as I have about 1 inchclearance on the inside of the wheel without any metalwork mods.

For paint im just going to keeep it simple. A bright white with lots of clear. I figure its already going to have a pretty radical look and if i went crazy with the paint it would just be too much.

Too much? How can that ever be? I think white with a bunch of clear would look awesome. With the chrome accent pieces, that will look great.
