slam or 18"s???
i have enough money saved for only one of the above. either i get coils, camber, and shocks to slam the bitch, or i get 18"s with my pro-kits. what do you think guys? i can't make up my mind. they will both cost about the same with installation and everything. any opinions appreciated.

I would go with the rims for sure since you already lowered the car enough to remove the wheel gap...IMO

Gotta roll with the majority,


GET DEM DUBS!!!!!!!

Rollin' on 18's is better than 16's with a drop. Hell, a Hyundai can have 16's on it!

yea, i think i'll have to agree with you guys. i was just tempted to slam it every time i saw that huge wheel/fender gap... i guess rims would be the smarter thing to do. thanks!!!

Hold on, you say you have a "huge" gap??? I have almost 2 fingers with 17's and I love my drop...but if you still have a "huge" gap, then I would consider thinking about it some more. After I put rims on, I noticed the gap 100x more. Just something to keep in mind...
