I'm very much in favor of lowering before wheels. I've seen too many kids with automatic, bone stock civic DXs and accord sedans with aftermarket rims and no drop. It's very obvious they went for form over function. Now I'm not saying you would be in the same category because our 86 has a much better suspension than a stock accord sedan. But it just kinda has that look.
On the other hand a lowered car on stock wheels still looks great. It makes the car look more aggressive but in a subtle way (as long as you're not slamming it). That way it doesn't look like you did the mods for attention but to actually improve the handling of the car.
But that's just my opinion. Truth is, wheels or suspension can improve the handling. And in the end it's your car. If you like the look of the stock height with aftermarket wheels, go for it. You won't be the only one.
