I don't knon if this is a question I shouldn't ask like how much do you make, but I was wondering what the avg is for new wheels. Now I'm just talking wheels that replace the 19" but don't change in size, so 19" wheels, and I guess you would need new tires or can you use the ones that were on the OEM ones if they match.

Also what is the avg cost for lowering the car and the process? camber kit, springs and coils or whatever you got to do.

I'm trying to figure out which to do first if either. Plus I'm bored

i'd say most people without hookups pay around 3200-3600 for wheels and tires (19x9.5/10.5)

you can get springs/rear camber kit all installed for 500 bucks give or take

just a guess...

It depends on what wheel and tire you choose!!!!!!!!!!! You can get a cheaper 19" wheel set for like $700 with $1000 for a decent tire...OR you can choose a work/volk/higher up wheel and spend $3500+!

Springs would be from $150 to $250, install should be 2hrs labor ($200) if you don't know anyone or do it yourself.

Coilovers...depend on the brand...$1k to close to $2k.

Camber...+/- $200 shipped for a SPC (good kit) and for the front which you really shouldn't need unless you get coilovers...$500 for a front kit.

So I would say if you went with nicer wheels....wheels + springs + alignment parts + labor + alignment would run around $4500 for it all.

yeh, but most people here go volk

but wheels can be much cheaper...like luff m1's. i think those are really easy on the wallet...but i hate those wheels (no offense to anyone who has them) lol

if youre on a budget and dont want to wait/save up then look into axis...

Maybe he got good springs like swift's and not garbage tein's, still seems a little high even for top grade springs.
