nice. I had to go look at some photos of your old 16x9.5 to see the difference.
more photos... but so far the design and in-set of the hub looks better in my opinion.

Thanks! Next thing on the list is paint...looks great in photos and for the most part in person but it not perfect by any means. I think it was krylon semi-gloss black only downside is if I were have done it right and used automotive paint and cleared it sand, etc' wouldn't stick. Being kinda flat with no clear everything sticks. Drives me nuts.

Did you have to cut-n-weld the control arms to get -30° camber? 
Looks nicely done. Lot of work there, and I can respect that sort of thing as an aesthetic creation. Just not my cup of tea. (IOW, I liked it better before, when it had suspension travel and straight sidewalls.)

Front camber is -2.2 rear is -3.2. -30 is a shitload...lol
So many hate on the ride height...looks good but not functional...I agree in a tracking standpoint but here in Florida on the road the **** rides out don't have any issues. Slight rubbing on the front on wierd slow turns but what I'm willing to live with cause it looks soo much better. Guess I'll have to bust out with some video driving around to prove it.

When the ride height is reduced to the extent seen in your car, all the alignment angles and proper suspension travel that were engineered for optimal handling go out the door.
