SVE Wheels or SLP LM's?

[FORMULa]

Well I have not posted in a while with school and work on my back all the time. I have not bought a mod in some time and was thinking of getting something, only problem is that I can't make up my mind what I want. I have been looking at two options for a long time and both I really want.


#1 SVE Bronze wheels

What size would be right 17's or 18's? Right now I have H&R Sports Springs and I'm affair that the 17's would look to small with those springs, but also affair that the 18's would raise my car higher and make it look funny and would I have to get spacer in the back if I got the 10.5. Would I have to do any modifications I were to get the wider wheels?

A picture of what they would look like on my car (photoshoped):

#2 SLP Loudmouth I or II

LM 1 or 2? I already have UPR catted X pipe and Magnaflows, which have been on since I bought the car 3 years ago and don't know how long they have been on there before I got the car. If I were to get the exhaust I don't know if I should put on myself (have the tools, but worried about it not being jacked up high enough and not enough room to install it) or pay for someone to do it. I also want a slight angle in the tips to point up.

So, I just wanted some opinion on what I should do. If I were to get the wheels I would have to wait another month or two (have to save up the money to get them) or I can get the exhaust right now.

normally, I'd say exhaust first but since your options are between "loud turd" & "squirty turd"; i'm going to have to pick wheels in the hope that you change your mind on exhaust at a latter date.

18" wheels

you can run 18's and maintain the same height, you just run a 40 sidewall instead of a 45 sidewall

I love those wheels, and since you already have a nice (better then the LM's lol) exhaust, i'd say go for wheels.

I'd go with the wheels, you shouldn't need any modifications with the 18's. They shouldn't raise the car either, if you get the right tire size. You might need to flip the quad shocks if you go for the 18x10's, but the same could be true for the 17x10.5's as well.

If you can afford the higher cost of tires go for the 18's.

Wheels bro, and if you get a SLP cat you going to want to change the mufflers like i did.

Wheels FTW

wheels as my vote. pointing the tips up on exhaust increases rust as moisture collects in exhaust instead of draining when not revving engine high enough to create air velocity.

 

[cerhard]

another vote for wheels..

I like those bronze wheels. If i still had my tan vert top i'd get them.

Wheels. If your roads are crappy I would do 17" wheels so you get a better ride and have a little more sidewall to protect the rims.

LM 1 or 2? I already have UPR catted X pipe and Magnaflows, which have been on since I bought the car 3 years ago and don't know how long they have been on there before I got the car.

Why is the age of the exhaust bothering you?


And another vote for wheels.

Wheels. Please don't ever get SLP exhaust.
