Advice please

This is my situation:
I need to tires bad. I've been on the stock firestones for over a year and most of you know what pieces of crap they are. I want to get 15 inch rotas with tires but I'm worried its going to look bad without a drop, and the truth is I dont have enough money to do both. Another option is to buy cheap tires to hold me over and save up for wheels, tires, drop and do all of them at the same time. Or get the wheels and tires live with the high looking ride for awhile and save up for the drop. Sorry if this is confusing im trying my best to word this. Any advice would help.

p.s. Ive looked through member rides and each option is weighing the same to me. So advice is greatly needed

I say just go for the rims and pay for the drop when you can.

Well I do know that my kuhmo 712s were like 30 bucks /tire cheaper than the firestones, discount tire wanted like 90 bucks for the firestones. Thats what made me look into them, I wasnt going to pay 400 for ****. Saved me an assload just going with tires that were 100X better...go figure lease:

That might help you out a bit...shitty tires will cost you as much if not more than say a set of kuhmos or falkens = 100X better than shitstones IMO

BigDaddyHonda is an unknown quantity at this point
It won't be too bad to ride around without a drop until you can afford it.

Think about it this way: If you just purchase el-cheapo tires, that will only put you farther behind in your goal to get some decent rims on your car.
