New rims or Lowered

So i have some cash and im either gonna spend it on new rims, or getting it lowered with some sportlines. i personally like the stock gunmetal rims, not as much as some aftermarket ones, but there good for stock and lowering the car makes it look so much better, now i can either lower it and save about 400$ or spend the money on the rims.

rims and no springs = fail. looks bad imo. lowering compliments rims so much.

ok well first off i dont understand how u can decide between two things that are completely different in price range!......... rims with tires at least a grand on a good set. springs anywhere from like 120 to the sportlines $250ish.... so i mean if u have money for the rims, just cough up the extra 1 - 200 for springs

my sentiments exactly when i saw the thread title.

i got my sportlines, shipped, for $200. brand new. installing is free, or at least extremely cheap if you can't do it yourself.

rims, decent rims, plus tires...decent tires...you're looking at at least $300 a wheel, plus. what's another $50ish a wheel to drop it too?

well with the rims i was thinking of using my tires that i have on now since they are new. so rims will cost me about 800, the springs will be about 250-300.

There is an order of how you should mod your cars looks. It goes Tint, Drop, Wheels, Aftermarket body parts such as a CF hood and what not.

You CAN trade tint and drop but thats about it. Other then that stick to that list and you'll be fine.

its a good time to buy rims because everyone takes theirs off for the winter and trys to sell them, you might be able to get a good pair of rims and rubber to $400 if you search

If they did that, they wouldnt be ghetto and stupid. Then they would lose their title. We dont want that. If that happens, then who do we have left to make fun of? Ricers?
