Got a photoshop done by Predator_VTR, we cant decide if we like the car with black, Anthracite or kept standard wheels

Think we have agreed it needs lowered but how much and what colour wheels?

Heres the photoshop:

Anthracite and lowered 60mm

only go black or darker colours if your going to do the headlights etc as well. but I still think the standard looks better as its all too dark

i always feel black wheels make your car look like youve had a flat on all four wheels then had to get steelies put on.

Standard 60mm all the way

Black always works well on the Silver car, 60mm is pretty low personally Id go out in the car with a ruler and measure where the bumper front and back would sit with the suspension dropped 60mm

6cm might not sound like much but you stop next to a speed bump or multi-story ramp and see if you would clear it down 6cm

Also that low your probally have to think about losing the centre box in your exhaust system as you might bottom out with a standard or sports exhaust, also that low you need to watch you manifold as sometimes aftermarket manifolds can sit slightly lower than a factory unit, I know my Piper 4-1 does but I have a OMP lower strut brace that takes the clonk instead of my manifold.
