Wheels look good. I'm a fan of stepped lips, flat lips look to plain for me and a little less aggressive.

Thats what made the wheels grow on me Wheels with flat lips usually have very open areas between spokes and not as aggressive as a wheel such as a Classic, LM5 or LM20

I've looked at both the LM20 and the Classics, they look to have the same number of steps to me. The only difference is the step on the LM20 is a little taller.

No rear coilover, I am looking at my options as I am not happy with the ride height in the rear on BMR springs

No mini tub either.

Haha. The car got a little lower in the rear after some hard driving and a long road trip to visit my parents, so I think they settled in a little bit

And even if I showed you BFH pics, its all covered in rubber undercoating and it would be hard to see
