I agree, or rims-drop-kit, it looks kinda funny to see a car with a kit and no rims. It depends how long it will be like that too.

my car got in some fender benders (2) before it got fixed.... so i said screw the OEM bumpers that the insurance would buy and used the money to get the front and back bumpers almost 100% paid for including paint..... so basically i got a kit b4 rims for like the cost of 4hrs install and the sideskirts (plus paint of the sideskirts).... so i took advantage of the oppurtunity. but no rims and the way things are lookin money is tight so this summer i dunno if they'll happen either. BUT i have had compliments saying that it looks ok anywyas cuz my car is silver and it kinda matches....maybe a lil?? anywyas as far as i'm concerned it does not look bad as it is and when rims come along it'll look even better.... and thats been my experience with kit b4 drop and rims

also i will never get drop as long as i live in canada for obvious reasons,,,, the way i am right now i might as well be stock, no problems,, (have to keep some function over beauty)
