Is your car lowered? Or are these new wheels filling the dreaded gap? Or is the GTS lower than my stock 4S? Why so many questions?

Can't speak for the OP, but he could have optional SPASM on his GTS. I have it on mine and it lowers the ride height 10 mm over the standard PASM on "S" cars. Doesn't sound like much but it does make a difference in appearance.

The car is lowered. Unfortunately my car didn't have SPASM. I used a set of TechArt springs.

Well, it's tastefully done. I am guessing you went down about 10mm (as SPASM equipped cars). I see too many that go too low making them look "pimp". This one I had to ask, yet it seems the wheels are covering the gap just about at the optimal hight, imo. Nice job with the wheels, too. I like them a lot.

Another forum member lowered his car with TechArts so I did get to preview them.
