Hey i found them!!!!!!!

thanks man! finally, i found some good rims too! I found those at discount tire co. haha I don't know if those are good but i think they will look cool.

check out the discount tire co. site you can see all the rims, and you can add the to a picture of your car, http://www.discounttire.com/dtc/home.do by the way let me know what you guys think i should buy, I can't spend more than 400 dlls.

And I think im going to buy some 15" cause like loggans said they could be to much weight.

Thanks
Ritchie.

$400 is plenty for a set of decent 15 inch rims. I bought mine rims there for $320, and I love their service, because shipping is free. I will buy tires off of them in spring too, I just to have to ride out the ones I have on now. I bought 205/55 instead of 205/50, so my mileage and acceleration have not been of the best. BTW, the difference between the two is .75 inch. Plus, I will get H rated tires, so its not as harsh as the V rated once.

Well I Allready order the gauges I hope that internet buying thing works, it's the first time I buy on line, this is what I Think I bought http://www.procarparts.com/store-lis...7&cat=3&sub=37, once I put them on I'll post some pictures!

And the rims will be my xmas! hehe, hopefully i'll get a bonus or something and buy them.

Now, this next quiestion might sound stupid but How do you guy lower the car, here In Mexico you can go to some places and what they do is Cut or heat the springs(shock absorbers) , but then the car... well i looks more like a lowrider just jumping on the street with any rock that gets in it's way!, and like a I said Tijuana Streets are not that good for low cars.
Is there any shock absorbers that i can put in the car and are all ready lowered.?

Well, this is a little off-topic, but whatever. You can lower your by either replacing the stock springs with the ones that were designed to lower your car. I bought H&R springs, they lower your 1.3 inches all around. There are also springs that could lower your car 1.7 inches or 2.25 inches. Generally, with springs, you cannot lower by more than 2.5 inches, but thats where coilovers come in. It also greatly depends on the original design of the car's suspension. Another way to lower your car, is just like you mentioned above. Heating or cutting springs will do that trick, but it much more riskier. Cut or heated springs can suffer a failure prematurely once the modifications have been done, so one would have to be very cautious if taking that approach. Goodluck.

Hey Turbo, Let me know if every thing comes out right. Those match the light in my head unit, and I think it would look badass if the dash lights were the same

I am sorry, I had a few replys in this thread that got a little off-topic, so I am not sure as to which one you are referring to. Thanks.
