Default Need advice

So we all know I need knew rims!! Only problem is I cant decide if I want to get black rims(probably torque thrust). Or Get chrome rims(undecided on what rims). But if I get chrome rims I was thinking of changing my headlights back to the stockers. Change my black signal lights and rear side markers to clear(already have clear ones). And kinda on the fence about this but I was thinking of buying a billet grill with a ss emblem. I think changing the black to chrome would really lightin up my car. Alot of people have told me to leave the black due to the stripe but I was looking at a silver ss with the stripe and chrome rims(unsure of his name) and . Let me know what you guys think. All advice would help. And I already I know I need to lower it

I say go with a chrome/polished wheel and leave the grille, and black markers. Not everything has to match the wheels. That color needs a brighter wheel to really set if off right.

before changing anything, i'd drop the car first. that will make EVERYTHING look better. even if you swap rims that will still be an issue, so i say handle that first.

once you get a better stance, i think it'll look good as is, or with new rims if you decide to change them..

as for swapping everything over to the clean chrome look. that will look good, even with the black stripe, so don't worry about that. Either direction you choose will look good. I just think you should drop it before doing anything else.

I'd go chrome/polished wheels. I'd go back to the stock headlights simply because I'm not a fan of halos. Definitely lower it first before you decide to change wheels though.

I'd lower it first and then if you still want to change wheels I'd go with some dd c5 thin spokes with a black center and leave every thing else as is

agreed, lower it first. even a 1" drop will make that look worlds better.

if you wanna get new wheels, id get something aside from TTs.. ruff 280/278 or some deep dish y2ks or something.

stay black (you cant go back)
