Looks great, just lower your car about an inch or an inch and a half.

Looks really good..

Did you sand your wheels down? Did you clear them after painting them?

Love the gunmetal color. Didn't think much of those S5 rims before but wow! They look great now.

That's awesome. I would've used the SSR Mesh, in gold.

It's been said before, but I'd just like to say it too. Looks great man. Plus you do have some awsome plates on both of them.

Now there's a bad idea. At least shell out the $200 or so for a set of lowering springs. Cutting or heating springs to lower your car will not only make it ride like ****, its also dangerous.
