I say lower it first and then get some rims. If you want it low get some H&R supersports.

dont listen to the people that are saying get wheels first. your car will be severly needing lowering springs after you upgrade to anything bigger than 16's with anything smaller than a 45 tire. it already looks like it needs to be lowered, just imagine the wheel gap when you get a bigger wheel with a lower profile tire.

these sn-95's are already really low to begin with, much lower than new edges and foxes. i have an Eibach Pro Kit which advertizes i believe 1.5" if i remember right. it looks great at the wheel wells, but my exhaust does scrape. not much of a big deal, but you dont need anything excessivly low with these cars. a 1.5" spring will drop it significantly.

its up to you if you want to do actual peformance upgrades first. my point is that a bigger wheel with a lower profile tire will make your car's suspension look like a 4x4 truck without an aftermarket spring kit.
