Here's a stock picture of the Core Racing EVO-5 - BLACK GLOSS 17 inch wheels that I have on my "E" as well as a few pictures showing you how they look on my E. I also put on Nokian WR 225/60 R 17 XL tires and I'm very happy with them. :smile:
Here are a few links to the wheels and where I got them (note, prices are in Canadian dollars).

....all you need to do is get rid of the gap between your fender and wheels. Lower it 1.5 inches and it will look sexy!

Thanks for the comments about my wheels, my E and my natural eared Doberman fellow EOC members! :)
I toyed with the idea of lowering my E but I don't what to loose the functionality of it as I've read about rubbing wheels and clearance problems on the EOC website. Where would one take it to get lowered and what would the cost be? Are there any Honda warranty issues with lowering it?
I've posted a few pictures of my first 2 Dobermans, Chester and Willy, who both had natural ears.

Looks as if you do a lot of off roading....better leave that lip where it is.....you'll need the clearance.

Thanks dancetiludrop:) I actually don't go off road very often and when I do it's mild conditions or packed sand and for short distances. I really want to keep my E in pristine condition which means keeping it to pavement for the vast majority of the time. I highly doubt that I'll get it lowered but I'm not counting it out either.
By the way, I think your E is Awesome! It's one of the best if not the best E I've ever seen!! It's so freaking cool:cool:looking!!! Great Job dancetiludrop:)

Thanks for the compliments.
I hate that the paint is so bad on it right now....when you look at it close it's got chip marks all around :| Need to get the front nose painted too! Saving up for a paint job....hopefully this spring :D

...doing it myself or getting a performance shop to do the lowering. The shop that I got the camber kit from is pretty reputable (Garage Five Tuning shop in Richmond)! My springs will be here in the next week or so. I went with the Eibach kit and the SPC (Eibach) camber kit for the rear. I think that if you are smart with the lowering kit then you shouldn't have a problem with your element. I have lowered lots of Honda's before and never had too many issues. The only regret that I have is that Koni or Tokico didn't come out with an adjustable strut! I have the Koni's on my civic right now and it is unbelievable.
Next time your in Burnaby or Vancouver hit me up and I will show you my Element! Cheers
