Voting should have a poll? Lowering definitely. I'd rather be lowered on stocks than off-roading it on some new shoes.

if you won't buy new rims, paint them grey, but not too dark.

I'm in the same shoes as the OP..
IMO, you shouldn't painted it black since your car is silver
maybe Gun-metal color will match your color better

but you should lower it first,,and then save some more
and just get a new shoes~

nice tint BTW..I wish we could do the same here in Cali

Definitely springs!

Personally, I think it would like awkward if you painted your wheels without being dropped.

And as others have said, black may be too dark for silver. Unless you will be blacking out other items on your car to match.
