what should be first?!?!

im debating on whether to get the rims on my car first or get a drop first....ive got enough $ for the drop and like $300 short for rims....but ive had rims on my car b4...and it looked clean without the drop...my friends have all gotten their drop first b4 they got their rims...one of my friends said to drop it first, then save for rims and get it aligned and a camber kit when i install the rims....what should i do?

RIMS FOR SALE!!!***LOWERED PRICE*** ME!!

if the drop is by a coilover with no new struts forget and do the rims. my opinion is rims make the car rims rims rims.

I would go with rims first, save a few extra bucks to do the drop right, get full coilovers or inserts with springs. Not just on stock suspension.

Go with rims first then you'll know how much of a drop to deal with. it's more practical.

i would do suspension first... so you know what back spacing etc... you need so you dont rub or have any issue's with wheels and tire later on....

when it comes to you wearing out your tires....
I say going with a drop first then getting rims.
Then get it aligned.I would rather wear out my
15 inch tires b4 my 17 inch tires.Then you have time to see
if you will need camber correction.You won't need
the 15s or whatever you have then.do whatever
you want though since ITS YOUR CAR!...and your money.
