rims
since i had my car, i've been dying to change my rims with volk gt7 (mercury color/silver) or anything bright gold w/ chrome lip on it. but yesterday when i had my new tires it was so dirty that when i woke up this morning, i decided to wash my car thouroughly. a good hour, when the car was sparkling bling, bling 
, i looks at my car in a distance and i guess, the stock rims are not that bad at all, what do u guys think, should i leave it alone and just buy coilovers/springs and lower the car or buy a new one?

Depends really.
You may want to get a seperate set of wheels for your summer tires and use your stock ones for winter. Most people do that since it makes their lives easier as the seasons change... and you don't have to keep paying remounting fees.
What are you mainly modifying your car for? Looks? Performance? Or maybe just small changes for the daily driver?

Back to your wheel decision, I'd go with a good set of aftermarket wheels and keep your stocks for winter tires. It'll pay off later and makes it easier for you when you have to change your tires.
