First off, I'm a girl and I'm not too educated on car stuff so please bear with my questions if they're stupid.

I just bought my tc a week ago... my stock rims are sorta scratched up and I'd like new ones.

I really like gold rims(&black) on white cars, there's a few rims that I like but these are pretty nice and also cheap. Are they TOO cheap though... is my question. What are some better ones? With similar web style (Yes, I've done research) I do also like Tenzo type-m version 1 's but they're much more expensive.

I do plan on lowering my car... I don't know how much to lower it though. I don't want it so low that I'm likely to mess up the stuff underneath my car. ... need some advice on that.

Open to any other suggestions also.

Look at xxr, rota and miro for inexpensive wheels. Imo this look a little to busy..if it were me I would go with the tenzos.

A good website that sales a large variety of wheels is vividracing.com. I would browse their site and it might also help educate you as well.

XXR/DRAG are imitation of nice wheels. They are fine wheels! Don't worry about them breaking as long as youre not racing with them or hitting a bunch of pot holes

Those wheels are too noisy. It looks nice, but it won't look clean. Don't buy them.

Check out the XXR 522s in Gold. It's simple and clean. Here's a picture of it on a white Nissan Maxima:

I found drag to be fine. Xxr is fine too from what I've heard. I say wait for the xxr 527's are readily available. I personally like 17's but 18's will be just fine too.
