Default RIM / Suspension/ Tire COMBO XA?????

I was thinking of purchasing a XA, but my budget is very tight and I wanted to lower the car and put decent rims on. Im thinking to go with cheap $85-107 15 inch rims and maybe lower car 1.5 inches. What do you guys think. Whats the cheapest way to go and looks decent? I am gonna get Silver or Black XA. Do I even need to lower car. Looks like stock sits kinda high. I can afford car but not much more. Car looks great with after market rims.

Here is a link to a place that has rims cheap that I can use factory tires.

I recomend Eibach springs, 1.5" lower and ride nice and handle very well for about $200 delivered. I bought 17x7 wheels and 215/45/17 tires from ebay, lugs locally, including mounting and balancing, I have about $800 into them. For $1000, it looks and drives like a different car.

If you can't afford the wheels/tires yet just keep the stock steel wheels and save your $$. If you buy 15" wheels and have your stock tires mounted on them you will be into it for about $500 anyway and the stock tires are not that grippy.
