Default New Wheels need help

I just put a down payment on TSW Thruxton 18's HyperBlack if i like them (i think i will) i'm gonna buy them. I havent dropped my car yet, I'm gonna go with the H&R springs with Koni shocks. How much should i drop it to look good, or be able to drive with? I also scheduled my windows to be tinted 20% all the way round. THIS HAS BEEN THE MOMENT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ALL MY LIFE! Cant wait for all this to be done$$$$

I was thinking about those wheels last year but decided against them I think with the dish that they have they would look better on a RWD car like a supra or something

another tip for you new wheels are crazy overpriced I don't think I would ever buy a new set again I picked up a set of BBS CH's for a great price used for others forsale check out www.audizine.com in the forsale section

Should i go with 17? i'm getting a good price so thats no problem. The roads around my house arent all that bad so i'm not scared! haha! but an inch or so drop will this work or not? i just want to know before i get the wheels. I heard 18 would work with an inch or little more drop so thats why i went with them.

You will do fine with this setup. Ride will be a bit stiff, but is not bad at all.
