Some New Wheels
I found the wheels I want. They are 17" X 7.5 so I can use the factory tires and I think they look super sweet. Nice price tag, set of 4 for around 1G.

I think they's look alright, you;re just going to need a bit of a drop. I've been kicking around the Idea of keeping a 17" wheel on the car when I upgrade. Now if you are wanting to re-use the bridgestones, I woudln't do it, get rid of those tires at the first oppurtunity.

Hey, i've heard that unless you're getting 18's you should stay away from aftermarket wheels because of the high quality of the stock wheels. However, i'd rather have as little unsprung weight as possible, so 17's IMO would be best. Good luck.

How do you plan to drop your car? Coilovers or what? Also, what is so bad about the bridgestones? I've heard they have a bad tread life, but are expensive which would add quality to them. Thanks.
