    i think all hatches look cool lowered with a nice set of rims

    not crazy low or HUGE rims
    just something subtle

    as bernie said, get a neat set of rims, a little lowering, make sure the windows are tinted..

    Oh really? Guess you'll never know.

    Welsome to the site.
    Lower it, pur some rims on, 16" are fine, 17" would be pushing it, and you're asking for rubbing.
    Tint the windows aswell.
    If you want any help, let me know and i'll do the best i can.

    Take Care
