Yes! Yes. That is how they should look from the factory. Nice job!

Got my wheels and tires on.
Sorry for the low quality pics. Really happy with my wheels and tires. Motegi Sp10 Hyper Black 18x8 +40 and Dunlop Direzza DZ101 225/40/18. Edit: Junk tires were sent back to tirerack and replaced with Michelin Pilot SuperSport.

The drop and wheels are a great combo.

The handling is improved over stock. The ride is a little harsher due to lowering and larger wheels with less sidewall but I'm very happy with the setup. The car feels more balanced with more neutral steering. It would tend to oversteer before. I think a little negative camber in the front helped alot. I'm more confident going into a corner at highspeed now. Before I had the rear step out a couple times. The grip is greatly improved so I either need to tighten up the Konis a little more or add some larger anti-sway bars.
EDIT: Ride lost all the harshness when Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires were swapped for the junk Dunlop Direzza DZ101

Hey the car looks amazing...quick question regarding the wheel/tires...what did you do about the TPMS sensors? I know tire rack sells them but they are around $240...did you re-use the stock ones or running without any sensors? Thanks.

No, no difference in power or acceleration that I can feel.
