I get you. Its kind of a sacrifice if you want to maintain overall wheel/tire total diameter though. With the 275/30/19 tire my diameter is essentially the same as stock. Its exaggerated in the side profile pic. This angle dont look that "thin", IMO:

Idk i like the look of the molding there, its easier to tell in the first pics but it kinda gives the sides a little more detail which matches the rest of the car. It looks a bit cleaner without but i still like it better with.

I kinda like the current look more. I don't think the WS.6 hood was meant to go on a 'sleek' car.
