Rims if not lowered or not???????

Hey guys;
I am looking to buy some rims and i am not planning on
lowering my car because of dealers hasslin' all you others
about other stuff that goes wrong with the car. ie tranny, rattles
etc. My ? is..... should I even bother with rims if it will make my
ride look like a "monster truck." Thanks

Also some pix would be nice for those that have aftermarket rims
and not dropped.

It's obvious from Shawn's pics that you NEED to drop your car if you upgrade your tires/wheels. Dont be biased to not getting springs because of some silly dealers...in fact, I had an actuall Acura Dealer install my springs.... Dont even get bigger wheels/tires if you dont drop your car...it will look ghey.

oh btw, as you can see from the pics....springs gives the windows a "tinted" look...a very strange phenomenon, but another incentive to drop your car.

dude, just get 20" wheels, that will fill the gap. If I could do it over, I would do that.
