Gotcha. There are tons of black rims to choose from. What's your budget?

Vin04TL

1600

princelybug

iTrader: (16)

Do you want "looks" or "performance"?

Vin04TL

Performance

princelybug

iTrader: (16)

Ok. Don't go any higher than 17's. 18's and higher will kill performance. What about Enkei RPF1's? They're super light weight, and they come in black.

Vin04TL

Ya but wouldn't it look weird because my car is stock at the moment?

princelybug

iTrader: (16)

You might want to consider 5zigens.

princelybug

iTrader: (16)

Nope. Get a drop after the wheels.

Vin04TL

Wouldn't the rims look weird with stock

princelybug

iTrader: (16)

With stock what?

Vin04TL

My car is bone stock
wouldn't it look different if I just had 17 inch rims

princelybug

iTrader: (16)

But, for $1,600, including tires, you're going to have to look for something used, most likely. Maybe some others will chime in and help out.

princelybug

iTrader: (16)

Well, you said you wanted performance. Looks are 2nd. It seems like you want looks + performance.

princelybug

iTrader: (16)

This is why I said you need to get a drop as well. A set of springs can be bought for cheap.

Vin04TL

What if I painted my stock rims black
would that look alright?

princelybug

...it'll also save you $1,590.

princelybug

But if you want peformance...you'll want to drop your car and tighten up the suspension.

Vin04TL

Ok now what do I need to get to drop my car and any good brands?

thait

iTrader: (2)

lol nice conversation =p


so what is the budget for a drop? its just like wheel, different price range also

Vin04TL

i have like 1000 to do it

princelybug

iTrader: (16)

So you have $1,600 for wheels/tires, and $1,000 for a drop, meaning $2,600 total? If that's the case, you can get a set of coilovers and do it right the first time. Also, you can purchase the Progress Rear Sway Bar for that amount of money as well.

Vin04TL

noo
i have 1600 all togther
the 600 and whatevr would go to your exhaust
so i will only have 1000 to spend on drooping the car

You beat me to it! I thought I stumbled upon a private chat room!

It is my recommendation that if you want to drop your car and you are on a budget, then go with springs. I highly recommend spending a few hundred dollars for new shocks/struts as well since everything is going to be easily accessed at that point. Unless you or a friend are mechanically inclined and have the tools, you will also need to consider the cost of installation, which may run you two to three hundred bones.

I was just under $800 for Tein springs, Tokico shocks and installation charges. If you can find a gently used set of coilovers for around $500, then that would be an alright option as well. I think that lowering the car is best thing you can do aesthetically. With or without the A-spec body kit, a TL dropped about 1.5-2.0 inches is hott, so matter which way you look at it.

So when will you pick up the exhaust?

princelybug

iTrader: (16)

Well, for $1k, you can get a set of coilovers. But, as has been suggested, you can look for a used set and save some $ for future rims.
