Anyone here has a pic of 17 or 18 rims on a car thats not dropped?

I love my suspension on my car and dont really have the extra money to to drop my car. I want to just buy rims and call it a day.

I wanted to see how some 17 or 18 would look without the drop..

thanks..

your going to have to drop it if you put rims on it. I have 18' rims on H&R sport oem (which is only 1.2 inch drop) and stock shocks. It rides just as good as stock, but better handling..

That's HOT! What kind of rims are those? C2's?

And uh...stock height and 17's or 18's is not pretty.

I've got some 18's on my website, but I am saving my money for a drop. I don't do anything cheap. like they've said wheel gap is horrible. Recommend dropping it.

I don't like my wheel gap but I think it's better that having the stocks.

notice everybody who puts the rims and doesnt drop yet has chrome?

if you are worried about lowering it just get an eibach prokit, it rides nice and its like a 1.5" drop nothign too agressive.. please dont get 18's w/ no drop PLEASE!
