Now you got me thinking... i have seen a few on springs and i couldnt even tell it was dropped.

Thought this was called ricer

This entire thread just blows my mind. In my mind "ghetto" refers to something that is distasteful and doesn't look like it was done correctly...a lot like most places i would describe as "ghetto".

Soo... I really want a really deep rear lip how deep can i go? Sorry if this sounds like a noob question but when i see cars with a really deep rear lip they are always slammed with crazy camber. Is that the only way a deep lip would fit?

Or you can just buy 3 piece wheels and run super low discs with massive lips and remove the barrels.

livee within your means kid. Trust when i say, its much cooler to have money in the bank, than a hooked up ride. Girls might get in the car, but will get right back out when you walk up to your mothers house and say, "shes sleeping so we have to be quiet."

Im all for modding, but not if you cant afford to pay it outright.

OP has already addressed the fact that he is taking a loan out to establish some credit and some credit history.Please stay on topic of suggesting wheels and maybe providing pics. No need for rude and unnecessary comments.
