Default Wheels or lowered?

I'm trying to decide on whether to lower my car and keep the stock wheels for now, or to go ahead and get some 18's or 19's. I've seen my car with 18's not lowered and loved how it looked. But it's a tough choice.

Here's a picture of my car as of now:

Had to put this one up because I love my euro plate =]

Get rid of that front lip and go lower 1st. wheels 2nd. Always.
Lowered cars can look good on stock wheels. Stock height with new wheels looks stupid as hell. imho.

i like my front lip =]

and i'm thinking wheels first, simply because i've seen what it looks like on this car, and i can get wheels very very cheap. i cannot however get coil-overs cheap

v-maxx $500... and with that lip to each his own... But with that lip why get coils? You can't go that low with that thing on the front. Get H&R race springs and your set...

Go low first.

IMO unlowered cars with 18's or 19's look ridiculous.

lip looks like overbite.

lower first. rims first = ghetto, unless that's what you're going for. if so, get 25's, yo.
