Thank you
The wheels are 18" Flik Wasp in gunmetal with Michelin Pilot Sport tires in 225-40ZR18 size. In that picture the car was only lowered about a half inch as I was running an OEM S4 suspension. I swapped that out four days ago for a set of Vmaxx coilovers and the car is now 2 1/4" lower than that in front and 2 1/2" lower in the rear. I haven't gotten pics up of the drop yet but will be soon.

Some updates. The car is at the body shops since I was rear-ended by SUV. I still had dealer license plates. Not quite certain if its frame damaged, but the metal panel supporting the rear bumper in the center is bent. Most likely will need to cut it out and replace it with a new metal piece. The trunk will hopefully get adjusted and straighten properly otherwise I found one for $350 (including shipping) at the junkyard in NJ. The rear bumper is fine and just has to get repainted. Other then that, owned the vehicle for a week. The damage came up to $2,658.
I am sure I get this done cheaper (much cheaper) so the car has already made me back some money. I don't have photos when I was picking it up, but have a few after the accident. I'll post them up when pickup my car from the shop.

The car is finally back from the shop. They actually ended up doing a great job. Original parts remained on the car since it wasn't as serious as I thought.
Things to do:
- New OEM rim
- Rear breaks
- Oil change
Getting this thing ready for winter.
