I have an '06 IP coupe with 18" stock rims.. everything is stock except for clearcorners, tints and ztube/popcharger..

i'm saving up for aftermarket rims and that got me thinking... if i should just blow 3.4g on rims..

or get tein basic+spc camber kit.. trade 18" for 19" stock.. and get a DD dash..

what should i do? any suggestions?

 

if you have 3.4 to put on rims, id do it. the 19's are nice but theyr still stock... id go aftermarket and really make your car unique/stand out.

 

Spend the 3-4g on rims and then start saving up some more and get the teins. In the mean time you could just put some springs.

 

dude get rims..then get the other stuff....i just bought some
rims for my ip coupe...next will be coilovers....imo you will get
tired of the oem look with the oem 19s pretty fast

 

IMO, drop is way more important than rims. I hate stock height on pretty much any car, and when you throw aftermarket wheels on there is looks even worse

 

slam it on the stock 19s.. and DD.

 

i agree with redlude97 saying the drop is very important.
i bought rims first but i wont be putting them on until i have
my coils on. So drop first then put rims on. But i like getting
the bigger purchase out of the way first etc. since coils are
always in stock..and rims aren't as easy to get.

 

okay okay okay.. how about this??

leave the G stock for now.... and get a used cheap bike?

 

IMO. It all depends on how long it takes you to save up. If its
been awhile? Then the drop/19's/DD for you now.

If you can save in a short (subjective) amount of time? Then
get your wheels first, then save for the drop etc...

 

id say do it the other way around because if it took a long time to save, itd be better to get the rims now or else it would take a long time to save AGAIN for them later down the road.

id get the rims, then the smaller things since they wont take as long to save for.

 

that is true.. it's taking awhile to save for rims..

 

I agree with him^. get the rims and go for some springs to complement the rims.

 

rims>drop>DD? wat for?

 

id do drop first, then rims, then dd

 

view the gallery area with tons of photos of G's with wheels and some on oem wheels and see what does it for you. For me doing wheels was a great choice, gives your car a different look.
