    Out of all those. The last ones would be the best looking, in my opinion.

    With that being said. I would save up your money and get some suspension first, and then wheels.

              1.buy a skid plate $ 180-195

              2. suspension,
              $440 ( could probably PM the guy he will sell for $420...) maybe..


              3. rims + tires $800-2k, have you looked into ESM wheels?
              15s are too small, if you lower your car pretty low then you still going to have fender gaps, and wont clean speed bumps.. but it depends what kind of look your going for..

                15's aren't too small. just get properly sized tires (205/55)

                but yes, suspension before wheels. always.

                  Wheels without suspension is very unattractive.

                      15" are not small, just get the correct tire size 205/55. i wouldn't even consider any of those wheels if i were you. get suspension first then go from there.
                      Bought parts from me before? leave your feedback here

                          I would get Euro weaves over anything you posted there.

                          that being said, I agree get suspension first (esp if you have stock weaves)

                            Don't buy any of those. The only people who would buy that crap would also chrome tape the moldings and put on sticker style fender vents.

                            These are similar in price, and design but better quality, still light weight and actually track proven.

                            Regardless you should purchase suspension first though. :)

                              +1 on 15s not being too small. But what does your car look like? I'm kind of liking the ones in the 2ed link.
