Default DR20 or enkei92 ON dc2 HELP!!

hey members, well im looking to buy new rims for my car. know that i am a full time student, and coach a high school team so my budget is just about enough for knock off rims.
i either want to buy drag dr20 or enkei 92, but i want to keep my stock camber. what i want to know is what size would be good were i can just roll my fenders and drop it. im buying ground controls this weekend.
its my daily driver, so its more for looks. i dont track race it.
any help would be appreciated.
the colors are either gold or grey for both. WHAT WOULD LOOK BETTER ON MY BLACK dc2.
pics of my car soon

A car will naturally camber once it's lowered. You will need to get an alignment to fix it, along with a camber kit to set everything to 0. I personally don't like 0 camber, since camber does help with handling and cornering, but its up to you.

A good alignment with some camber, and no toe would be ideal.

As for the wheels, I'm a fan of silver on black. Its a much classier and timeless look. Gold is old IMO, but once again, that's your choice, since it's your car.

Enkeis are of better quality than the others, so that would be my choice.

The DR20's will run you about $200-250 less then 92's. If its your DD I would run a 15" wheel with a 195/50/15 tire. or even a 16" but the price will go up a little. I have a set of DR20's on one of my Integras I can post to show you. With a 15" wheel you could have an aggressive drop and not have to worry about rollong fenders or anything like that.

i'd would say enkei 92's if you have enough for them...a pic of my buddy's teg with the 92's, 15x7 all around...he was in the process of switching to 15x8, then he parted the car.

most cars with "Camber wear" are stupid, toe is what wears ur tires all funky and ****, u can run some camber and barely wear them faster than they are supposed to just gotta keep that toe in check

You can be slammed and usually as long as you get a good alignment you'll be fine, camber kits aren't necessary, and your tire wear will be fine.

Toe is what destroys tires. As long as the toe is set to 0, the amount of camber has little to no effect on tire wear. A good alignment is key.
