I'd probably go with 20's just for the cheaper rubber. Keep my OEM's for winter duty and some blizzaks. Other than that, until I win the lottery, it's all pretty much a pipe dream until next year. Just want to get my ducks in a row so I know what it is I'm looking for - in case that "deal" presents itself one day.

I'd search for a used set of eibachs or something then because if you just slap 20s on, your car will be really tall haha. And yea 20s are nice because of the cheaper rubber and there are quite a few options out there. Maybe just start looking around at other peoples cars and see what you like? I know Andrew (Songle6MT) has spent the past month shopping wheels so he knows of quite a few... again, depends on your budget lol.

As far as exhaust, I need stainless since my car is a winter driver. That's really the only stipulation at this point. Not sure about lowering a car in MN. I did the whole summer/winter vehicles, and at this point I'm just looking for one that I can drive year round. Not sure if EDFC can stand up to the salt?
Axis makes some sick wheels for sure. I would have probably ended up with some axis wheels but someone on gdriver is running them on my color car and want something a little different.

Coils and all year round I would try to stay away from.

I wouldn't buy 20's just because the rubber is cheaper. You would be saving anywhere from 100 to maybe 200 bucks in tires. Buy the WHEEL that you want. Do not buy the wheel based on the tires.

Budget and what sizes wheels come in play a big part in what wheels you can get if your not spending 3k plus on wheels to get custom sizes.

Yup, All-Pro Powder coating. I've had them do a grip of stuff, including a set of wheels for my old Focus. I had a custom color done on my 15's for 40/wheel.

The pink wheels on the cover? From the black 350z with pink wheels that use to run around town. My buddy Felipe's GF's car. Lol.
