Yeah cuz a friend of mine got his sitting low and he cant go over a bump with 3-4 ppl in his car without it scraping or slamming into the bump. So hes having to change his suspension or what not again.

I was going to get the Auto-Couture body kit, it was about $20k installed with shipping to the shop and back. I don't have much business right now so I had to hold off on gettting it... I'm not too familiar with assanti rims so I can't help you there.

I agree with wolverine0723... there isn't one best but there are a few good rim companies out there like Klass, Swiss, HRE, Vespucci, Vellano.... those are all high quality wheels. but be prepared to spend anywhere from 1200-2000$ or more on each wheel.

yeah ill spend 2k a piece on rims, just was not gonna spend 20k on a kit. this one guy Sevas broke on him on the highway. i would not want that to happen to us. Thats why i just want quality rims. its dangerous having your rims fall apart on a highway. He totalled his car also.
