Well i have a little delema, i sold my crappy 18's and i want to get some velox forged 17's or the tien flex dampers.

the problem is that i am running on my stockies and there is no tread at all, but i hate the ride on my stock suspention.

what should i do next, suspention or rims?

remember that i just want the best, and i am balling on a budget...

the rims are 17 x 7.5 and weigh 12 pounds. im going to get some 225/40/17 perrilies...

I think you should get the wheels first, cuz no threads = trouble waiting to happen. (aka possible accident) [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-nono.gif[/IMG]

Wheelz with tires first for sure...u can just cut the springs to go lower until you get whatever u want.

balling on a budget? kinda doing it the wrong way no? ballin on a budget was keeping your old 18s and just dropping it with lowering springs.. tein flex and forged rims is ballin, your on a budget so are those things really necessary? maybe just get tein ss and regular rims. save the extra $1000 for a kit or something.

Yeah, I was doin turns at 60. But thats cuz im crazy like that. But the only reason I got springs first was cuz I didnt have the money for wheelz+tires and my stockies had under 5k miles. Plus I had a decent deal installed, so I went for it. But if u got no time due to no tread, get that first NO DOUBT!!! U can cut the springs till u get the real thing. Its like my ghetto exhaust, just there till i get the real thing!

p.s. balling on a budget means that as i get paid, i try to get the best stuff i can...
