Default just sold my wheels, what do i do with teh money?

do i buy some other wheels? i'm looking to do some 19's this time.
or do i buy some coilovers so i canget rid of the ghetto cut springs and get a decent ride again? if i do that, i'll have to ride around on some weak 17" junk wheels for a while until i can save up for some decent wheels again.

what do you think?

Save the money right now, keep on saving, then buy new coil overs and rims at the same time. Or, buy the rims now, buy some regular drop springs like H&R or something since that only cost about $250, then at least you'll still have a nice drop, nice rims, and get rip of those ghetto cut springs. Later when you have more money you can get the coil overs, or air. If you go air, you do have to route the plumbing, but you don't have to give of trunk space. You can buy the 4 gallon pancake tank that fits in the spare tire well. Now, from here you have two choices. Get rid of the stock spare, or buy a matching 19" rim, or even any old cheap larger diameter rim and it should fit over the pancake tank. Then you'll still have a spare and loose no trunk space at all.
