i agree with what has been said; a drop is totally about preference, as is the tint. as far as the profile on the tire - you will run a 30 to 40 series on a 20" wheel to keep the diameter within manufacturer specs, depending on width. with soft wheels, this can be an issue depending on how you drive. from what i have read here, vossen makes a pretty good wheel, and if i were to do it over again, i would go in that direction instead of the lexani. 2k is doable for a wheel and tire package, though you may not get exactly what you want. lexani will definitely be out of that range by 500 - 1k, depending on the merchant. a good merchant will tell you the best setup you can run without major modification to the wheel well, given your needs (size, staggered, profile, ect). just my .01. good luck in your search. also - check out the NELOC or Northeast threads; there are a lot of CL members in the NY/NJ area that can point you in the right direction, and help you with fitment and vendors.

^^lol. i'm with you, but some just aren't in to all that. i'm as low as you are; do you have any issues with your lip kit rubbing speed bumps or inclined driveways? i will be installing my kit this spring, since i really don't want to plow snow for free, and am curious if there will be issues....

matt - i really like the look of the Lexani. if i were to buy another set of that brand, i would go with those. but as i mentioned earlier, i would go with Vossen over Lexani given my experience, and the reviews of others. you're getting a great deal given that you are getting tires and installation with that. are they doing the TPMS swap as well included in that price? fanstastic deal if so. ultimately, what you do to your ride is all you. what we think and advise really does not make a difference. you have to drive it every day, not us. go with what you think looks best and all will be well. there can be no bad choice, as long as it's yours. all you listed - style, price, brand - is all subjective. everyone is different in what they like. you chose a great car (rattles aside. lol), so enjoy making it uniquely yours.

thanks for the feedback thats tru i probably will go with the lexani vossen i kno is good but i didnt really find awheel of theres i fell in love with. as far as including the TPMS what is that?

Tire pressure monitor system. Each wheel has a transceiver that will need to be specially mounted and programmed into the car (if they are new).
#28
the tpms is not included the guy told me he can transfer them from my stock wheels for 80 bucks or just put new ones on my new wheels for 200 bucks is that a good price? and should i put the new ones on?

Think after you get your rims on there, you'll eventually want the drop to. It just completes the look, but expect to pay anywhere from $250-300 for the springs and another $200-300 for installation.
Most folks here are rocking the Tanabe NF210's which is what I'm trying to get...and like you I'm debating between rims, but it's looking like the Axis EXE Image are the ones I'm going with.
Think for most luxury cars, some all around tint, slight drop, and new shoe's keeps the car classy, and looking it's best. I'm sure not all agree with my stance, but some cars don't need to be moded to much to bring out her beauty. Guess you can kind of relate that to girls too...ahaha, some need no make up why others...need all the help they can get.
