Rims or Drop?

[goodeguy]

I have been pinching my pennies for a little while and i finally have enough to do a major mod to my car. I can afford some nice rims and tires or a nice set of coilovers. Which do you guys think i should do?

[DarkRidgeRacer]

Its up to you. Personally I would save more and get both but thats in my own opinion.

get the drop first. If you get the rims it will look out of place because the gap is still there. Also there are more benefits to dropping compared to rims.

Yeah, I was debating the same thing. Go for the drop first.

Slam it first!

depends on if you are in need of tires too. i bought rims first but that's because i got a good deal on em. if i had to choose, i'd probably do a drop first.

I got my rims on Monday, dropped it on Tuesday.

Drop it first.

Be sure to work a camber kit into your expenses... Especially if you end up getting wider tires. Wider tires wear faster with bad camber than stock skinny ones.

drop it with some nice shocks and springs.

I did the intake and drop first, it made a helluva lot difference in driving performance, and now I'm saving money for the exhaust system which is my next mod. But that's me, it's definitely up to your preference...

Well, in my opinion so don't quote me. Rims make the car. You can have the cleanest car in the world, but if you have some ugly rims, you just kilt the theme. A drop is the stance of your car. It looks more aggressive and mean when its lowered.

I would say get both but if you have to chose one, drop it.

Cars still look sick dropped on steelies, it looks incomplete but its getting there. Cars with rims and no drop looks weird.
Oh and don't get anything over 16 inches.

Thanks guys. The drop it is then. Anyone know where i can get some Omni's? Or maybe some D2's?

[ikayto]

d2s are discontinued.

but a good google search should yield you some results

i agree with the others, in my opinion a dumped car on donuts/stock wheels, look way better than a 4x4 height of a car on some nice wheels.

I found some Nex SS I heard they were pretty good so i'll give them a try. If anyone knows anything that I should know about them please let me know. I already searched the site and read like a million post about them, saw a few cars with them installed and asked people personally what they thought of the product. but you never know there may be one person who has something that might save me some frustration. Thanks guys.

I'm actually not very familiar with them!

That's what I'd recommend.
