Alright, so my first set of after market rims, and I must say I am pleased. Thanks to BrentSC for them, real good guy. Anyways I thought that I'd post a few pictures.:)

As you can see 18" Cobra R's.

I'm still contemplating the drop. What do you guys think, show I go for it? I think it looks decent without but I know it will also look awesome with the drop.

And I'm sorry, I had to take it out with the little bit of snow, it was too tempting!

To this day the cobras are one of the nicest rims out there on an SC. In 18's they look great..Good job!

Looks very good, and I must agree, the Cobra's still have it. As far as the drop, do what you think you will like. The car looks great as it is. Perhaps the added expense of springs and alignment, and a change in the ride could be put to better use somewhere else.
And damn, get that prro baby out of the snow!!!!!!!!!

Looks good but would look better lowered. Check out some of the readers rides that have the same color and wheels as yours and I think you will agree. Clean SC though!

Oh man, if you ever want people to stare, go with the 18's haha.

The only think I don't like about them...... is that they take too long to clean. haha so much chrome.

I've decided to first get a new exhaust, new pulleys, double intercooler and raised top before I invest in springs. I know that pictures don't do it justice but they look stunning the way they are. I'll hold off for a bit because the gap isn't too large.

Anyways thanks to everyone who posted their opinions.

Use the money you would spend on the raised top and put it toward lowering springs. The top ain't gonna do you squat till you get into some of the updated blowers etc.

Thanks for telling me that. Saved me $400, for now anyways. Pretty sure the upgrades never stop.
