H&R sport springs
I wavered on solar black. My personal opinion from the pics was that it was kinda shiny. I like more of the matte look. I could be wrong bc all i had to go off of was pics. So speak now if you have any words of wisdom for me (especially Houston people who have seen the solar wheels) or forever hold your peace. Ive got my fingers crossed that the tires wont rub

The solar black V710s on Frank's car look sweet. IMO, it's a very subtle difference from matte black, but a nice one. At times, matte black wheels just seem dirty (not clean). The solar black look almost exactly like matte black, but have just enough reflectivity or shine to keep them from looking like dirty black wheels. I really don't think you can go wrong either way though -- both will look great.
Neither fronts or rears will rub with the setup you suggested.

Are there settings for the distance on the 9500ix or something because I cannot imagine that is the maximum range?

Kyle, it sounds like the radar detector wasn't actually on until you were 50 yards away. If it had been, the RD definitely would have caught it. Was the officer in the car when you passed him? If so, you have nothing to worry about.
