Disarmed's '07 Lancer

So I just started to really get into working on my car (finally) after 2 years of owning it. I never really did anything to it since it was automatic, there were dents, and when I first got the Lancer I hit my mom's car while backing out of my garage which left a huge dent/deep scratch from my gas door to the middle of my front door.
I'm "lucky" some woman decided to hit my car while pulling into a parking lot (not my fault, she tried making a left from a far right lane eating my car) because I was able to get the car repainted and all the dents and scratches were lifted. I also had a custom paint job done on the front grill, the chrome and matte black was ugly so I had a shop paint it gloss black all over.

As of the past few weeks, I've had installed:
5s, old ones were 35s and becoming discolored.
Gas door vinyl wrapped.
Tail lights vinyl wrapped and tinted.
Steelies painted a flat black.

Future plans:
Eyelids
Fogs
New wheels and a drop.
Subs
:D

Looks good, get some stock OZ wheels or something for cheap. They run about 125$ with tires around here.

Thanks man. I really want to get some new wheels on it. I was thinking of doing a static drop, and giving it a mean, MEAN stance.

These are the wheels I wanted. I know 18s are a little big but I love the 5 spoke look.

My only problem is that I'm worried it's going to come off rice as ****. The gascap vinyl cover is streching it already, and I'm thinking that black wheels will kill the clean look I'm going for.

Then get a chrome lip. I run 18's fine, I dont really notice a difference in how my car drives other then its a little stiffer due to the 35 series tires.

just ordered a 16x9 xxr 531 (ccw rep) for a test fitting. also picking up some bc racing coilovers within the next few weeks. planning on being that guy and maxing them out as soon as i get them. should be interesting.

i cant believe that i thought tinted tailights and vinyl wrapped gas tanks were cool lol.
