i would do rims first, sure it might look odd, but you don't know about clearence issues. So rims then drop, thats what i'm doin at least

I'm planning a drop first. Actually, camber kit first. Then coilovers and shocks. Then rims and tires. Most people would do it in reverse order, but I think this is a good way to build it up and it kinda forces you to get the stuff that's next on the list.

I would drop the car first. I think that a car looks good stock with a drop. The wheels compliment the drop. I think the worst is when people have big rims with a low profile tire and big wheel well gaps.

Definately wheels, then drop, or both at same time. If you drop it first and get rims, the drop might be to much and you get a tuck look, or if it's not enough you need to drop it more. Don't waste the time and resources.
