I guess the only modification that is not considered "rice" nowadays is a fully stock car with $5000 rims. Where are the creative people? Imagine all of us driving around uniformed with lowered Z's and Volk TE37.

Don't buy the ebay ones, they just end up rusting badly.

Chip in the extra bucks for one of these:
