Keep my rims?
Should I go with 15" Rota Group N Black with a Red Lip
or keep my 18" Focal F5s?

For those who have seen my car, the tires are pretty thick and my car is still pretty high. I just recently put on my stock tires(cause my dads borrowing my car) and I just love how low it is. I was thinking should I just get the rotas and slam it 3"(cause I got hayame coilovers ) or just keep my focals and still ride high.
Also I just love the ride with my stock tires... I think i'm getting too old for 40 series tires

red lip will not match your car totally but the 15 and slamming it will look tight. I say keep your Focals... but then again you like the stock tires...

Group N's with 195/45, 205/45 that should give you a smooth feel. My friend has 195/45/15 on his slip streams and they feel pretty soft when your driving.

if u go with group N's that more like a racing look. if ur not getting a kit anymore i say go with some 17's then u could slam that. But if u have 18's then u have to get ket to make it look lower.

I say if you like the ride go with the 15z becuase black on black with the red lip looks hella nice. I wouldnt recommend it on a lighter color car, but with black you can for sure pull it off.

I say keep the rims. They look real nice. The red lip looks a bit wierd too me and 15' rims are kinda too small. at least 16' rim would be okay

15s only look good on cars with lips or clean jdm looks...since you have an aggressive body kit you should stick with your 18s or even get some dubs..hahahha...

personally, i don't really like the focals too much cause it has no lip whats so ever, i would just sell the rims and get new rims, keep the tires.

or i would get some 16's with azenies

16's that way you'll have a decent profile on the tire but still have protection for those harsh streets you say you drive like 15 mph on.

i got 18s and I wanna slam my car some more too. I just bought some velox vx-8 but not the normal kind. I got mine powdercoated black from velox and theres like only 10 made so far. They look hard the lip is made different also. What springs can make 18s look slam on a car.
