    Trying to fill out the wheel wells and am the considering the two options. Basically, I am thinking of the 19" Challenge Center lock conversion & H&R springs to slightly lower the car (not slammed)

    or

    ADV 1 20" or 21" (not sure if 21"s are even possible) in likely similar offsets and widths etc. Perhaps a touch wider. A set of 20" BBS centerlock which mimics the challenge style would be cool though.


    I am interested in opinions, positives / negative for either option and, oh yeah, this is not for tracking the car or anything but more of a cosmetic upgrade.

    For looks, 20" ADV1 or HRE would be best.

    Personally I would stay with 19. Maybe 20. But that's just me. Keep in mind larger wheels will make your rotors look smaller unless you have CC brakes.

    21? No way.

    I have the standard wheels and it's been lowered ( 3/4 inch) using the stock springs. It looks great. Look at my photo album. There are some before and after pics.

    Don't bother lowering if you have poor roads. You WILL scrape it front and rear way more than you would like.

    How did you lower the car on the stock springs? Other than a new alignment that would be needed, I would think it could be a DIY job.

    Independent mechanic did it then did front/rear 4 wheel alignment afterward.
