Yeah, the site is slowing down for some reason... blame ripplehost, not me
Anyway... those wheels on there are about the equivalent of what a 15 or 16 inch wheel would look like. (by my estimation based on the scaling I did, no actual measuring)

nvm.. it loaded.
the one you photoshopped on looks pretty sweet.
17's would be over doign it tho.
why not just get some decent 15's ?
I thought about getting 18's for my car, but too many potholes and I dont want to deal with bent rims and such so I figure i'd just go 17".

photoshop your car black, maybe the wheels will look better if the car is another color?
How is your stereo and speakers? Maybe you could put this money into that and it would be more of a direct impact, once you sit inside your car I hope you don't visualize how your car looks and what others think of it

Umm... considering how stupid most "good" drivers are and since you'll have a set of steel rims just collecting dust, why not? Even drivers that know true car control f-up in the snow... they just have better ability to recover from them. Most all-seasons suck pretty hard in the snow. Whether it be flat or hilly, you still have to turn, brake, accelerate... etc. You'd be surprised how much safer it is with snow tires.
BTW, it's true that your car won't sound like a bumblebee with the stock exhaust on it but it will still sound somewhat farty and loud. Also, there won't be much to gain from headers without a complementary exhaust.

Stereo and speakers are fine... just stock stuff, but I've never had any complainits about it... I don't spend THAT much time in my car and I definately don't need it any louder or thumping bass. The only thing I'd change about the interior is I'd like it to be all one color... the dash and console are black, and the seats and carpet and headliner are a tanish color.
The hubcaps are just ugly... I hate them, lol. I haven't seen any hubcaps I like either... most of them are designed to look like a good set of aftermarket wheels or something and I hate that.
I guess it is a bit silly to spend $800 on a set of wheels and tires on an economy car. I just hate those hub caps! lol A new paint job is the only other thing I'd do to it, but that would cost a lot more than wheels and tires.
Maybe instead of doing anything to it, I'll just treat it to some synthetic oil this winter, lol.

You don't need an expensive paint job, surely you can find one for around maybe $500 or so, to most people it'll look like a new car. I'd reccomend a paint job for now. After that, maybe you could get windows tinted. Honestly, I wouldn't spend money on the wheels before the rest of the body looks a little better. To be truthful, you use this car for daily driving, don't put too much on the exterior in wheels, tires, etc. If you're fine with the stereo, are the seats fine? Maybe you could get nicer seats or something. Like I said, once you sit inside, I don't think people visualize what their car looks like, not saying it should look bad, but you get my point, right?
