Lets see some side pics

It looks much nicer now that it's lower. But it also looks more tucked than flush, it could just be the angle though. but as long as your not rubbin, must feel good

Full photoshoot in the works... I have been too busy shooting other peoples cars.

It definitely is a huge improvement... it sits much nicer, it is just as flush as before (tried reverse mounting the spokes but it lowered the offset too much and wasn't driveable), and after driving over 2,000 miles this past weekend it was amazing not rubbing at all!
