    Buddy Club P1 SF or 5Zigen FN01RC?

    Hey i got a 2002 Corolla S and im gonna lower it with Stechs soon whenever they arrive. I've been reading the forums alot still im not sure on what rims size is good and all the other things i need to look into for the wheels. Like the topic i was choosing between Buddy Club P1 SF (Gunmetal) or the 5Zigen FN01RC (Silver). I really dont know much about rims so what size would be best? I really like 16" but i can go for 15" also. My car is used daily so comfort is a need with good looks. I guess tell me whats a good width and stuff (ex. 205/50/16) Also whats a good offset? I still dont understand how that works. Ive been getting diff inputs on that crap. All your inputs Smart or Dumb will help me and maybe give a good laugh.

    Car Specs As of Now:
    Alpine headunit
    Kicker L5 12"
    Tints (of course)
    8000k HID lowbeams
    3000k Fog Lights
    Redout Tail Lamps
    Injen Short Ram (Black)

    Next Move:
    Tein S Techs (Stock Struts) Cause the car has 60,000 Miles so im guessing it could hold for awhile
    Wheels (dur)

    Nice choice of rims.:) Any of them get's my vote. I'd say stick anywhere within +43 and +38 offset, no more, no less. If you really like comfort, go with 15" with 205/50 tires.

    hmm alright sounds like good choices. Now to find good and reliable prices. Normally with the set of rims i purchase on websites they dont come with tires. So i could just get the tire size you recommended and they would fit fine? ***By the way nice corolla you got DOT. Looks clean the only reason i hate you is cause you got rare parts :( Other than that i still like ya lol***

    Has anyone seen Vamps corolla in person?? I'm tryin to since i live near him but last time i checked hes still working on it

    I'll pick the buddy club P1 since it's light as hell. :D
    And personally I like 15"
    If you go with 15", the 195/50/15 or 205/50/15 will do.

    Just FYI, I have a 01 rolla. I had my S.tech on stock shocks when I was at around 43,000km (sth like 30,000mile), and the shocks are dying at 50,000km---------- Stock wouldn't last long!!!

    I'm putting H&R springs and Tokico blues on my car this Tuesday (before/after pics and my thoughts on them to follow-- possibly on Wednesday). I'll let you know how they ride and look. Keep an eye out for it.

    hm... ok so change shocks or buy them now till it happens... good idea. Now ive been reading these forums like crazy before tryin to lower them and choosing shocks are kinda hard since i hear good and bad things about each one. So im a daily driver, i usually drive calm (i'll only gas it on straight ways never on turns), slow down on all bumps, dodge potholes n stuff which shocks would ANYONE recommend??
