Hi all -- Well the day has come that most of my projucts on my new find are almost completed. I had some great advice from many members and you know who you are and thanks. After looking far and wide for some 16's, then 17's I liked, I obviously went for the 18X9 and very happy I did. I had to go with a hubcentric ring which I hadn't wanted to do, but I can say that there is no vibration to 100mph.
I'm not only showng off here but would like some input as to a slight sensor loweering.
I'm an old guy that has owned probably 10 to 15 lowered cars in my life, including street rods, and do not object at all to the look but I don't want to look like a young dude and still want a good ride without having to be aware of dips and parking lot wheel stoppers.
One more thing. I bought my rims from Brad and if anybody is interested he and his dad are first rate when it comes to delivering what they advertise and for terrific service as well.
Guess I could have cleaned the tread for the picture, lol.
Those are not oil spots but water spots, lol.
Here are some pics for critique. --thanks for listening.

I'm glad you finally found something you like. Good luck, it looks just right now.

Sensor lowering is easy enough, just follow the guide in the tech section.

Do the rear first and then do the fronts to match. When I did mine, I did notice a more firm ride, but my suspension is well worn.

BTW, the car looks great! ;)

thanks for the info --I lowered my last Mark myself and am very familiar with the process. Just trying to decide if I need to lower it and am leaning to NOT, lol thanks for the info however.

Looks great. I noticed a ride difference when I lowered my car. Much more sensitive to the bumps in the road, but seems to handle better.
