Default Cheap Wheels + Coils or Expensive wheels on Tein S

What would you guys think:
I can sell my Iforged (Silver w/ Chrome Lips) wheels and
A: Get some cheap wheels ($1,000-1,500) and get Coils (of course gotta + $$).
B: Get new set of high end wheels (black/gun metal) and sit on Tein Springs?
Ive been wanting to lower the car a bit more and get dark color wheels cause my car is SGM

Why not just keep the iForged and save for coils? Then sell the springs

If that's your car in your avatar, looks clean the way it is!

Get coils and wait for wheels. I regret getting coils in the first place.

Don't downgrade! Those wheels are beautiful, maybe save up for coils and then when your near enough sell these wheels. Then get coils and new high-end wheels and sell the springs

If you decided to keep your wheels how much would your budget be on coils?

You should save up for coils. Your wheels look nice or sell your wheels buy some coils and sit on stocks and save up for wheels.

i think you should keep the rims you have right now and save for coils I think sgm looks perfect with that brushed aluminum finish you already have I like the contrast between the two makes the rims stand out more
