Default upgrades (exhaust/rims) *Any input *

Hey.. Now thats winter is comming to an end.. my money has been saved and its time for upgrades (well not yet. but soon)

I have decided on rims . im going to be getting Mille Miglia Evo's in chrome. now i was wondering if my car would be able to handle 19's (im getting a good price on these rims) or do you think 18's are better. i would rather have the 19's, becuase i plan on getting a GS400 in the future and would like to put these rims on... (after i save up for the GS of course)

Possible lowering it also.. 1" in front and back. could the 19 take it.

Also i was thinking of putting an exhaust/mufflers on my car. I don't want something thats sounds like a coffee can duct taped to the back of the car. I want something low with a humm to it. I really like the sound of Remus Exhaust. and i know they are made for Euro cars. but i was thinking of Remus Universal mufflers and putting them on.

Any input you guys have would be appreciated, i don't want to waste my money. im only 18.. and saving up for the damn car was hard enough.

Thanks

J_RoK,

18's are nice for the SC. 19's are nice too but tires get pricey.

A 1" drop will work with 19's if they are the correct offset/width.

Exhaust has been covered here a few times. Some people even posted sound files of what their setups sound like. Remus are nice setups. However, I believe they are tuned to the specific car they were made for. Using their universal may not give you what you want.
