Finally after 2 years of "just looking" I finally got it!! ~((56K WARNING))~
Enkei RSV 17" rims, Wanli s-1099 215/40-17 tires, and H&R 1.3//1.3" drop springs.
The car looks like it needs to be "balanced out" in the front and the rear, i.e. a front lip kit and MAYBE a mugen style wing (not that big a fan of non-functional additions). I'm considering a mugen style wing due to the fact that mugen builds nothing that isnt functional in one way or another.
I hear the spoon lip can add a little extra downforce in front, if you have heard or KNOW otherwise please let me know.
A simple, functional, but good looking car is what I'm trying to achieve.

"gangsta! spooky tires "
"stock and ugly"

Re: (DsR)
Wanli was the company that ORIGINALLY designed what is known to be the Yokohama AVS tread. Here is a pic of the yoke's
The reason yokohama was able to use this design is that wanli didnt PATENT the design when they made them public!
These tires handle very well IMO! I looked at these and the Toyo proxy fz4's. The sidewall is DEFINITLY stiffer on the wanli's.
I used to use BFG's and I used to slide all over the place in the rain with those. These, havnt slid yet. I live in WA. ST. it rains here non stop. I tried to get them to lose grip when merging onto the feeder road to the highway. I would make the turn in 2nd gear @3-4k rpm and as soon as I hit the apex of the turn I would GUN IT. Still firmly planted! I was like...DAMN!! I would definitly recommend these tires! Affordable and great handling! Hope this helps

Re: (DsR)
LOL!! OH!! One more thing! If you encounter a moderate->heavy amounts of rain where you live...get your tires SIPED!! Its only about $11 a tire but well worth it! 
You can see what siping your tires do if you look at the close-up of my tire. It greatly increases traction in wet weather without sacrificing dry grip while at the same time it helps promote even tread wear through out the life of the tire!!
However, this is not a substitution for rotating your tires!

I appreciate the complements guys! My future plans for this car is a brake kit, strut tower braces, and lower tie bars.
Any recommendations as to where I can get them for a good price? (online or wa. state.)

if youre concerned with function, get rid of those ugly 17's. they are heavy and degrade the car's handling, not to mention cut into your fuel economy. Go with stock 16's

Re: (GODluvsLUDES)
What the hell is SIPING and Wanali?
Yok stole their idea? AHHAHAHHAHA right, keep telling yourself that. Ive never even heard of that company.
1700 sounds like way to much.
What is that sticker in your back window? Its pretty ghey.
