Suspension before wheels. Aftermarket wheels, especially ones that are aggressive, look absolutely ridiculous with no suspension modifications.

+1! Just drop it and keep the stock rims, looks cleaner that way.

Yeah, but still, I'm talking in the perspective of one or the other. Together, they look perfect, but having a drop without rims looks worse than having rims with no drop. I've seen lots of beautiful wheels that look great with the stock suspension, because it's not like the G37 is lifted the same way as a Camry, per se. To all their own opinion, I guess.

My cheaper alternative is to just get lowering springs which is most probably going to be eibach pro kit. Do you guys think my stock 18" wheels will look different with a drop, and make the car look more aggressive? Or should I just invest in some wheels? Thanks a lot. Open opinions please pics of someone with an eibach drop on 18" wheels would be great! (perferabble the new 10 spoke ones)
CV1s are nowhere near 3 grand

But Seriously who cares who has cv1s, if you like them get em, I have 2 friends who had cv1s in socal driven and I got a set too, cause at the end it's your car. I'm looking into a step lip now, but make your decision on what you like, forget if others have the same.

Mine were 2300 with tires, new. Camber kits is the costly part because the fronts need the camber arms too. Youre looking around 200 for the front and rear kits then another 400 for the front arms.
