Default Should have listened wheels suck

I just recently came back to the forum because i purchased a black on black 95 sc 300 . i wanted to get rid of the stock rims and bought some ebay ADR black w/ polished lip rims in 17 x7 size car is stock height now plan on dropping 1 1/2 or so with new springs cant afford coilovers yet and although id love to spend 2 or 3 grand on rims that aint happening either what about these rims do you think either one would look good on my sc
the riax zukas looked great on my 3000gt i sold it and have them in the garage and the other dc rims i can pick up pretty cheap with nexen 245 40 18' s

I like the wheels from the 3000GT. I totally understand you on the buing wheels and coilovers. Unless you have a bunch of cash, getting nice coilovers and the wheels you want is hard. If you're trying to lower the car, look for a Supra TT strut and spring setup. They are a good cheap alternative to expensive coilovers unless you can get a good deal on a set used coilovers.

Go with the Eibachs, the NF210's have some pretty sorry reviews. And if you can get shocks with the springs, get everything for a MK4 Supra and you will have a little more low

I would personally buy sportmaxx or rota wheels. I am buying MB battles which are around $700 a set and look awesome.

Also the eibach kit is nice, get some new KYB struts for an mk4 supra and you will get a nice 2" drop, maybe even a little bit more.

And if you do decide to get coilovers in the future the Powered By Max coilovers are great and are only $1000 new.
