    ^ true droppin would look nice but puttin new shoes on ur ride would make it look sexy.
     
  2. outta those two i llike the 19" avarus im not a big fan of a lotta spokes design.... lol
     
  3. im more feeling the oz... the avarus seems... too naked for me lol

    like.. you can see the brake disc and calipers, and i dont want to show it if its stock =\

    ya... i see your dilemma... id want 19s too... if it was 19 OZs itd be good lol

    actually, it would create new issues. dude lives in canada. he needs the clearance for winter snow. trust me it gets ugly here.
     
  4. i would have to agree with dann there lol, dropping it in the northern part of america is really hard.... and in boston MA its even less likely a person with any knowledge would drop their cars low... almost guarantee your front bumper will come scraping off

    if that's the case... i completely don't see the point in going with with the 19's... cuz he's still gonna have a large gap regardless of the size of his rims... =/
     
  6. .......better fuel mileage..... LOL.... nah it still will raise the car up a little i would believe, but it also would depend on his type of tires....

    i reckon if i was to get a car, i won't get one which is too thirsty for petrol but then again it has to be quick but not give out too much CO2 emissions. gvt being gay with green taxes these days and petrol is getting real expensive.

    so your looking for that pot of gold at the end of a rainbow eh? Cause unless hydrogen cell cars (or some other alternative) suddenly become real cheap and viable

    its either slow and cheap or fast and expensive unfortunately

    Don't get 17". You are going to regret it. Get the 19" and sell the 17". 17" is tooooooo small. Lower with 19" with look SICK. 17" lower will be too lower for your car. You going to have a hard time going to bump. At lease the 19" will raise your button a little.

    just get the regular size that is stock wit ur car. If u get bigger rims, there's gonna be changes. Equipping a bigger size rim than ur car's stock rims can fukup ur speedometer. for example, wit bigger than stock rims, ur speedometer reads 80mph, but in reality, ur goin 100mph. Changing a stock rim to a small rim can be a bitch, especially, for those who like speeding...... But if u calibrate it..........then it's a different story....it's all up to u whether u wanna stay wit the stock size or spend money not only on bigger/smaller rims, but also on changing the speed's sensor.

    hmm, il probably just stick with 17"s and not drop it, i can buy 18"s in the future i suppose

    not sure for a change from 17" to 19" but maybe you can get some super low profile tyres that means the general radius of the wheel wont change and thus you wont affect the speedo, but ride quality may be a bit harsher

    ^I dunno if it would change it from 80 to 100... but it will be faster... and it could be the difference in getting a ticket :(
     
  15. omg.. dude.. the whole point here is NOT to drop or lower it... <_<
