Go for suspension. The wheel gap will look ugly if you get new rims without lowering.

Just like my man TRBOBRK said. If you get rims first, the wheel gap will look kinda nasty. Get the springs/coilovers or whatever first so the rims will have a nice wheel tuck and no BIG gap between the tire and wheel welt. peace :sun:

CUTT YOUR SPRINGS AND GET SOME RIMS!!! Nah, jus playin'... I think the suspension would be the best bet for the first choice... Yea, rims make or break the car, but so does a car w/ rims that look like a truck!!! :hehe:

I put on rims before I lowered my car and it looked like the car was on it's tippy toes :).

If you are more into cosmectics, then go for the rims - they will definitely make your ride stand out.

a good suspension setup will transform your P11 from a good handling sedan into a great one. You'll benefit from a bigger wheel after you modify your suspension. Just get some Kuhmos on the stock rims for now. :D

Rims, then suspension. When you put on your rims, you will decide if you need to lower your car or not, how much of a drop you want if you do decide to lower it, etc. etc. etc. If you go suspension first, you would have a hard time figuring out which rims would best blend in with the drop.

on top of all that, your rims would be noticed more than your drop.

i say rims, 17's look fine without a drop as long as you get a 215/45 rated tire, even 18's can look alright w/o a drop as long as you get a 215/40 rated tire...plus with a smaller sidewall, it already makes your car handle a hundred times better, even without a suspension setup.
