whoa. pretty sweet but looks a little wierd. If you lowered it and put on a body kit it would look much better.

Your car rubs being lowered one inch? Mine has had 16s, and currently runs 17s and is lowered way more than an inch and mine never rubs.
Anyways, man that car looks bad ass. Where did you find those wheels? I'm going to purchase some Centerline 17x8s for the back and 17x7 for the front, maybe run 245 on back and 225 up front. I wanna go with the look where it looks like the tire is almost too narrow for the wheel. I don't like when the sidewall bulges out from the lip of the rim, doesn't look very sleek to me. I have 17s on there now running adapters to make them fit, since they're Honda offset rims, and I do NOT like the way it handles. I had 16s that bolted directly to the hub and with even bald ass tires in the back, it handled WAY better than it does with 17s, adapters, and brand new, wider tires. I'm not really afraid of the adapters breaking or anything, but a little worried of the lugs that hold the adapters on, coming loose. I had them on and drove the car for maybe a couple hundred miles and took it to get the tires rebalanced since it shook like a bitch at low speeds. The guy at the shop said the bolts holding the adapters on were barely on there. He said most people use the adapters for show only, not street, since you have to retorque them every 500 miles or so. But I've been running them at least 800 since the last tighten with no problems, at least that I can tell
But I much prefer wheels directly bolted. Cuz when people look at your wheels, they're going to see the spacer lol
