Default Thinking about new wheels...

Have stock wheels on my '01 Spa... Was thinking maybe 18's? Will 18's make it look 4x4 without new springs? And if so... what springs should I get? (and koni yellow shocks I assume..)

Checkbook mechanic... how much am I looking at for install of springs?

And if I don't need springs... any recommendations on wheels? Looking probably for something 5 to 7 spoke, probably polished alloy.

if u you want something like your going to be spending 1500+ on wheels. and we know how to install springs, we did it on mine but with 18's it will look a little lower, you car just wont look lower to the ground.

It'd be awesome if I could get help installing springs... but most of you are in Tulsa, so that kinda makes things less easy.

I'm from T-town originally... moved down here for school. I'd love to move back someday. Great place to live.

where do you live? I wouldn't mind coming down their to help out with the install. Its really easy. Time consuming, but easy. I think for me it takes about 2-3 hours depending on how hard the bolts are to get off. Mines a 2000 and they were pretty easy.

I'm in Norman.

If I was going to get help from someone, I wouldn't make you drive all the way down here. I could go up there.
