depends on the use of the car. rims are a defining source for most vehicles. personally 9.5 is to wide in the front but regardless it will improve your cars appearance greatly so out of the three if you can afford it thats what i would do.

Id go with rims. It will give you problably the most dramatic change. Rims can make your car look totally different.

toss up between dubs and suspension. suspension will be cheaper , but rims will be so cool cause everyone will see them .

I saw do all of the above, minus the "Boyd" rims. I dunno. That guy in real life is such an a$$hole to everyone around him.

I want to get a running start and slam into that guy, knocking him and his scooter into oblivion.

Whew. Vent completed.
