yeah from what i can tell by the pictures its an awesome mod! i just hope i can put it all back together!

im thinking of painting the rims and calipers black and red respectively. or is that too ricey and overdone?

a few of us have done our rims black, i know me and peanut have and it looks super sweet. have you thought about getting new rims at all?
but my theory is.. should lower your car first! to give it an even more aggressive stance :D

yeah i thought about getting a set of rims but the poor old budgets a bit tight so i was going to try this option first to see how things panned out! question is should i get them powder coated or just paint them myself?

I would suggest getting them powdercoated. The finish is a lot better that paint, and due to how hot your rims can get paint can bubble etc.

If you do decide to paint, make sure you use a high temp paint similar to engine enamel. You can also get a high temp clear coat also.

I'm with Lzy-eye on this one
Powder coating your rims is the best option
Killer looks,durability and cost effective to boot
