www.rimtuck.com and search for the type of car that you want to see, ie s13, s14 etc. this website will tell you the wheel specs that each car has, etc. you will need coilovers and all of the associated goodies such as rucas, toe rods and such. and you will need a wheel with the offset you desire. search and you shall find what your little heart desires

OP, You're gonna need coilovers, wide wheels with low offsets, stretched tires, rolled/pulled fenders and camber kits. All of this... for starters...

A few grand, a lot of reading, mechanical ability, and some searching.

measure twice buy once. Do your research and find out what you need. If you get lucky all you'll need is coilovers. without adjustable rucas you'll probably end up getting spacers though like me. Instead get wheels with very low offsets, mild stretched tires, and then adjustable rucas.

Along with your Bugatti....

Anyway, you will need all your support modifications to the suspension to sit it as low as those vehicles. OEM is not meant to go that far, and if it is, it will not allow much room for ANY adjustment. If the car is track'd, make sure to go with SPL, etc. If not - I have yet to see a bad review on ISIS rear suspension arms/rods. I'm sure its for the front, also.

But then again, mention ISIS will make me sound like the stereotypical "240 broke a** guy". . .whatever. Unfortunately some of us don't care to spend gobs of money for a name that means nothing on a daily'd car. No offense to the people running the stuff, more power to you.

You don't want that. It looks cool but drives like sh*t.
The last picture is ok but again no wheel travel. You are going to have a car that handles terribly.

Stay away!

You won't be able to drive anywhere like that. You can park hard as hell though. My car's not close to being as low as their's and I dread having to drive my car to certain places. Here are a few websites you can look up to make sure you get the right type wheels. Lowering your car is the easy part, getting a good set of flushed wheels takes some learning to do.

read the wheel fitment whore thread on zilvia, look through rimtuck.com, buy wheels according to your preference after reading through those sites, then pay attention when you drive and dodge bumps and go up/down inclines with angle.
some people would rather be lazy drivers and ugly cars.
wheel fitment is an art.
