and handle better with proper struts, which is probably more important.

I wanted to just post all of the videos in here but felt it was too harsh. I didn't want to get scolded.

Just listen to Kurt who told you to listen to Eurotrsh also known as Dan, he knows a lot about wheels and won't steer you wrong. We run stupid wheels that don't belong on our cars too so don't worry.


praise the lowered.

the BBS you posted- they will cost you probably 1/4 what you paid for ur car so id reconsider thinkin about them haha. theres a ton of differnt styles out there, i acctuly like the spoked wheel idea.. idk what color ur bunny is but maybe buy them and spray them matte black? get some white wall tires or something. but ill agree with dan- if u go that rout ull need to get coilovers.. a set that will take ur car really low. else my springs are still up for grabs!
Still may consider your springs...I need to do a bit more reserch plus i need to find out what the rim offset is. I really like the bbs rims but want something in that style if not the 100 spoke.

coil overs are the way to go- its really a price to usefullness thing. like i said had them on my car for over a year without problems.. felt fine and gave my car a clean look, i got coilovers because i shred my car a lot and want to get a great setup for rippin. but for just toolin around town if u want to get some wheels and a nice drop, and get it done cheap springs arent a bad way to go. no to mention i love how my car handles now but i really feel every bump in the road.. its fine with me but with the springs only it was a much more comfy ride. just my opinion.


woo wooooo wooooooooooo

Both Dans' and your car look very good. These 100 spokers
will be the opposite.

If youre in the market for coilovers, I will have my B&G's up for sale shortly.

As far as the RS you posted above, you can pick up a set that needs refinishing for anywhere from 700-1400 in 17". An 18" RS is a unicorn, however 18" Super RS are not and can be had in "ok" condition for the area of 2300.

By the time you refinish/build/paint/polish a set of RS you can buy a set already done for much less.

For instance:
Redrilled, powdercoated, new lips, new hex caps and centers and ready to go

WAYYYY fresh. IMO the wires are a bold move, but whatever tickles yer pickle man.
