Every time someone slaps wheels on before a drop, god kills a small child.

Drop before wheels.

he's already dropped, but he's thinking of switching to coils..

I'm also in the same dilemma with my sedan, I'm dropped on H&R coupe springs.. don't know if I should get wheels or Tein coils. I also have spacers on my OEM wheels, so it looks decent for now.

what makes a setup legit? is it that you had to wait 6 months for them to come from Japan? you had to sell your ***** to be able to afford them? you wound up getting the same rim as everyone else who ordered theirs from Japan (VSXX)?

wheels are wheels.. doesn't matter if you spent $1200 on them, or if you spent $5000 on them. well the main difference is that if you have $5000, and you curb, bend or crack one, you will have to pay a crazy amount for a replacement or to get them fixed, meanwhile you can get a brand new rim if you don't get "legit" rims..


and you guys are missing the point that he already has a mild drop.. maybe he doesn't want to be dumped, maybe he just wants to eliminate the wheels gap that he had..

Noone said anything about spending 5000 on rims. I got my set for around 2k so all i'm saying is find a set you like and look around for a good price before settling for replica rims that gets you laughed at. Replicas also tend to crack/bend/ easier than high quality rims.
