It looks like the gap on hondasport01 is a lot bigger and it states that he has sportline Eibachs, so there should be a 1" drop. His car just seems to sit very high on those 18's. (BTW Hondasport01, your car still looks very good [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] ). Compare that to RiceBurnrEX, is looks a lot lower and even the 18's don't really look like 18's, but he hasn't got springs or anything (BTW2 very nice car anyway. I'm in the market for white 17" for my EBP car myself [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] ).

Could this be optical illusion because of the colors, or are my eyes in need of an overhaul ?

Yours actually looks a lil' bit better... and maybe it is just an optical illusion cuz your car is darker. (Or maybe it's whatcha got in your trunk?)

For MY EBP... i'm stickin with silver. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG] White turns yellow over time. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

Yellow ? Damn, I don't want that to happen. But you could be right. Don't they use special paint that prevent that from happening ? Has anyone else got experience with this ? Does it happen on like 70% of white rims or just on a couple of brands ?

I could've sworn I heard someone tell me that there's a way to prevent that from happening to your rims... it might've been posted in an older thread not too long ago... let me see...
