Rims and suspension

Looking to by some rims and coilovers for my WWP. I am willing to drive any place in Socal as I can turn it into a mini road trip for me. I am open to anything.

$2,000 I have some more stashed away just in case as well. I've had the car for a while and it's completely stock.

$2000? So which do you want, coilovers or wheels (without tires)?

Not at your price point. Well you probably can find wheels and coilovers for $2k but I wouldn't want them. Hopefully your standards are lower

Of course there's always standards. Ive been able to find some for around the same price and if I have to fork out some more cash it can always be done.
I really want to see what people were offering. I know there might be someone out there looking to get rid of some old rims here and there.
Besides if I find out its in my best interest to buy the coilovers new I will.

My car has been running on a previously owned set of Tanabe Pro S-0C coilovers I bought over 2 years ago. I've put over 35000 miles on them and I've never had any problems with them and I've never had anyone complain about the ride.

Around that same time I also picked up a set of Enkei NT03+M's which gave the car a nice stance in my eyes



The coilovers were $600 used (from a member here) and the Enkei's were $1000 with tires (I think I got them from one of the 240/S13/S14 sites) which lasted me a good 3000 miles, which was great considering I had my motorcycles as daily commuters then.

With $2000 it depends on what your goals are.

If I was going for performance I would have budgeted $1500 for coilovers and $2000 for wheels, but when the car is only being used for pleasure driving and/or going to work performance is much lower on the priority ladder than aesthetics.

If you just want a set of wheels with tires to get you home on, I have a set of Rota D2's (18x8 +48 and 18x9 +48) in black with polished lips.





PLEASE ignore the ///WORK decal on the wheels. I swapped wheels with my buddy and never got around to removing them before I got my actual Meister S1's.

If you want them I'll clean them up and have them ready for you this weekend. There are about 1000-2000 miles left on the current Yokohama S-Drives

Thanks for the input. If I end up moving then I might think of going straight performance but since where I live it's already hitting 110 I think I'll wait.

As for the Rotas I'll keep them in mind. There is a WWP around the corner from my house that has them as well.

I've been watching the part out and I'm not a fan of gold rims... But the MS front is sexy and very tempting!
