It would look better lowered a little. I think maybe 1/2-3/4 of an
inch. There were chromed versions of those rims but I had to take what
I could get. I think I may try and get some of the 17" Pony wheels in
chrome when the big makeover happens. That would be an even better
sleeper look. :)

No, they are about a foot long. Looking in the case you would wonder
how any air moves through it because the two screws almost fill it up.
It's amazing how tight they fit together considering how fast they spin.
