Hmmm.... I'd personally get spacers. I think you already have TOO much gap in there, raising it up would just look silly to me. I liked your last rims better too 
I'd bitch at whoever told you those were supposed to be 36mm offset cuz that just screwed you.

Ok i've looked at your pictures a few times now and i think your wheels look great. i'm not the king of anything by any means so i really don't know about spacing on wheels or that stuff but i like the way they look.
Also when you get your wing done i think it'll be tight as hell.
And about your car sitting high, I know exactly what you mean. I took out the engine, tranny exhaust and all of that stuff too and my vert sat about 2 inches higher and looked totally messed up in a picture i took of it in one of my threads a while back.
But overall i think you're doin a great job, can't wait to see the finished pics.

After the engine/tranny and everything is back in with coilovers at the same height as now, it'd probably fit really nicely.
Have you thought of whether you're going to get the wing molded into the body or not? I think that'd look really slick.

Just how it sits minus the engine/tranny/exhaust, and new springs/struts which havent been given the chance to settle.
As for the color of my car, I really like the color, and am keeping it that way, black side mouldings and all. With my car being repainted , I have the option to change it any color I want, and Im sticking with stock IMO there is a very nice contrast between silver and a polished aluminum wheel. Im not really into the colored wheels. They dont look bad in some applications, but its not for me. Everything on my car is either polished, or painted metallic black. Just wait until I get some engine bay shots with my ceramic coated IMs
