Wheels and lowering a Sport Evo?

[Holjon]

Ok, I have a 1990 Sport Evo.

I have the original wheels in good condition.

I have also got a set of refurbed Z3 alloys in a dark grey colour. (I use these as run-abouts so the originals don't get too dirty or risk damaging)

I have also seen some newly refurbed style 5's with dark centres which I really like.

The style 5's are around £750 which is a lot. So my question is, is it worth selling the originals to get the Style 5's. However, I would like to return it to standard if I fancied.

Or should I sell the Z3 alloys and fork out the large amount for the style 5's. Then again, I like having a set that are easy to clean!!

Also, I would like to lower my car a little as I think that the cars look soooo good just that bit lower. But, I like the handling and ride of the car as it is. What springs would be the best for the job. If I lower it about 15mm would this effect the camber or give any bump steer. Is it worth going to some coilovers, if so, which ones.

Any help is much appretiated.

Defiantly go style 5s they look great especially with nogaro centres which i believe your describing.

Not sure on springs.

i don't see a problem with a little moding on rare models but i would stress that u keep all the OE sport evo parts for maximum value come resale time.

springs? i'd consider H&R springs

rims? keep the originals and do what u would like with the other wheels!
