I wanted the most "unique" and uncommon color and I got it!
As far as the "Go lower" comments are concerned, it's on the way. I hope to be tucking tire before too long! It all comes down to money and time so we shall see.
Here's some more pics:
Still not caught up yet!
More still on the way...

In all these photos so far I'm on Dropzone springs off ebay for the GD3 chassis fit.
And yes I know mine is a GE8. And yes, GD3 springs work fine. There is a slight difference in the rear though which makes it sit abit higher than I liked.
So now I'm on 2.5" circle track style racing springs, 150 lb/in, cut to length so the rear isn't higher than the front.

I plan to do either coilovers or air ride at some point. Just gotta save up for it.
I really miss my Axis wheels. They've been gone for a while now. And man, for some reason I just can't get over rimstripes. I just love them. And yes I'm a bit of a wheel whore. Right now I only have two cars, and yet I have 6 sets of wheels currently.
More pics! Trying to get caught up.
View from my window last winter when it snowed like crazy:
And then back on the stockies after I sold the 17's:
And a teaser of my next wheels...

Looks great! When you had the mini Cooper rims, what lugs did you have on there?
And with you current set up, where did you get the spacers and the extended studs?
Keep up with good work! And get some coils! Check out the group buy on the buddy club n++.

Got the extended studs off eBay, they are for a '92-'95 Honda civic. However, the part # info says they fit pretty much every 12x1.50 thread pitch Honda from the last 20 years, so I wasn't concerned with them working on the fit. Sure enough, they work great. The spacers are just cheap slip on ones with a hub centering ring in the middle so they center on the hub. I ran open end 12x1.50 cone seat lug nuts from discount tire on the mini cooper wheels.

And it is lowered on some GD3 Dropzone front springs, and 12" 125lb/in circle track springs in the rear. Not enough $$$ for coilovers or air ride yet...
