I have two friends with 17's on cars that aren't lowered.

One is a 200sx and it looks soooo shitty.
The other is a Prelude VTEC and it doesn't look good. My friends want it to look bad so they tell him not to lower it because they are assholes. I tell him lower it, but he wont because he is a cheap bastard.

that's the thing. i know someone who want to sell the 17s for cheap with ~80% thread but i dont have enough dough to shell out for suspension (shock and spring or even spring alone). my tires on 14s blackies are worn out so i need to get new tires...

i guess i have to pass this one

I have. I switch between my stock 15's and 17's all the time with the stock suspension. It also depends on the profile of the tire. I personally like my performance 17's without the drop. I will eventually get the suspension, but that should not deter your vision.

You take that baby off-roading? JK
I like the rims but you need a drop!
