I agree. Nice wheels look stupid unless you have the proper ride height.

I don't know why wheels are even an option for people before suspension mods.

The obvious answer would be the coils. If you want a nice set of rims, it's going to be a lot more than 800 + tires. There's nothing wrong with stock rims... they'll look awesome after the ride height adjustment.

Definitely coilovers, but what brand/type are you looking to purchase? 800 bucks may be a tad short on getting quality coilovers unless you have a hookup.

coilovers!!!!!!!!!!!

if you're brave and want to save, get gc sleeves and koni yellows.. great feel, adjustable height, quality setup.... less money. just more skill intensive.

then go to rb motoring
