UPDATE...from OK.

So, I deleted my previous thread bc I wanted to share my updates, and didnt want multiple threads running. Picked up some Custom White, Enkei PKR 18x9.5 all around +25 offset, W/ tires, EXTREMELY cheap. I know they may not be "traditional" wheels but I like them alot! So just wanted to share them with everyone! Oh yah got springs on the way too, I know I know, shouldve gone with coilovers, but we all make bad decisions :shrug: here & there. Finally getting things started...

Oh I will most def. get the suspension lined up before wheels go on! That's been the order on all my cars! I may just take the small hit and order coilovers anyways. Vipdout thanks for the encouragement bro! There aren't many big 4 doors in my are for support, that's why I enjoy this forum so much!

Haha ya, I don't rememer what thread I read, but it basically stated there's a VIP platform build for any budget and that really motivated me, cuz I only work PT go to school FT, live on my own, and financial aid takes care of the rest, haha. Hopefully over holiday break though I can stack some $$ up to get it going full swing! I'll update pics once I settle on suspension.

That's a big drop from just springs I'm surprised. In the future if you want coils I acutally have some at the moment. It looks good so far and I actually like the rims but not so sure the white will look good with your color.

Thanks guys, yah I just went and got lugnuts today, but then a storm started rolling in, so that kinda ruined my plans of throwing the wheels on. As for them not matching whites, I feel you bro, I dont think they match "perfect", but theres always paint, powdercoat, or polish. haha.
