First off sorry for the dirty car pics.
After I put the new wheels on the car I loved the front but wasn't impressed by the rear. So I decided to lower the rear another inch and space the rear a tad wider. Now it looks good. What do you guys think?

Looks super!

Let us know if widening the rear stance increases dirt/rocks from the tires on the rear paint.

I'm just curious, how much does one of these wheels weight, and are they gunmetal in color?

Stuntz

29 lbs and yes they are gunmetal

How's the ride quality on those rims? What about the front, did you notice any difference in steering response/difficulty since you went from 245 to 275?

Stuntz

Ride quality is the same truly. I have a bit more noise from the tires during a low speed turn but that's about it.

What size of spacers did you with in the rear?

I used the same 25mm ones that I had with the factory wheels. I will probably move to a 15mm in time

I know you don't ahve the car and wheels anymore as you've sold them but you said you lowered it another inch?  What did you mean by that?  You were on H&R correct?  I'm looking to add aftermarket wheels with this size and tire but wondering what it would look like on my '13 SHO with H&Rs.

Are these gloss or matte/flat finish? I like the slight variation between the wheel color and color of car - looks sharp!
