Im thinking about getting some rims for the car but then again I think I heard people saying to drop your car before you do anything. Not sure if there's a reason or they just like slammed cars a lot. hmm but here's the links to the rims and yea I want at least 17's if not 18's. I got a few I picked out. And if you guys have suggestions to rims that i haven't posted would you mind letting me know, I might want them.

As you can see they're all around the same price, I would like to keep it like that lol. And if if this thread format is wrong in anyway let me know, haven't posted much here.

I'd keep looking around man. Imo I dont care for the style of those wheels. Check the forsale section. You might be able to find nicer wheels for a better price. I know people have some wheels forsale right now. Good luck. O and I've always dropped my car before wheels to keep my car from looking 4x4

lol thanks, i'll check out that section. The thing is I like rims with more than 5 spokes and not fat spokes like the stock v6 sedan rims. I guess I'll have to deal with those rims first. I'll see if i can find any cheap used coil overs then. I've never done suspension before, hope i can pull it off. My tools are very limited too :ryan:

Imo, though I have already been yelled at for not having a dropped car lol, I'd get rims first. I just think that rims completely change the way the car looks. First thing I did was get rims for my car before anything else. I admit I should have dropped the car right after I got the rims, So I vote rims,then drop right after
