Maybe start a build thread, or list what you've done? Or... is the car completely stock currently? Budget will play a part, as a lip is going to cost a lot less than a set of wheels. Buying wheels may mean you have to buy a set of tires as well. More info is needed

I'd probably opt to lower the car, or install a 22mm rear sway bar....or both. It'll make driving more enjoyable if you like twisty roads & it'll transform the appearance of the car. If you want wheels, I'd look through the tire forum at some examples of what people have. See what looks you like, and see if any are within your budget, or see if a replica of that wheel is available?

Hills are ok as long as they don't abruptly start/stop into a driveway or whatever. If you have a driveway or something that has a sharp pitch to it you may scrape. The ground just needs to gradually change slope on decline/inclines.

perfect example of bad....

If you have about 1k to work with I would start with the swaybar. Most are going to agree that it will give you the biggest bang for your buck handling wise. I'm not really up to speed on lips, but I know there are quite a few users on here that have them or have experience with them. If your profile pic is your car in your driveway It honestly doesn't look steep enough that you would scrape. Just don't barrel into the driveway at speed and you would be fine with a mild drop.

It's all about the angle you turn into the drive. You basically would need to drive somewhat parallel to the drive till you catch your front wheel. Once you get the front wheel on the driveway you can turn into the drive.

essentially like this person catches the wheel to get over the speed bump -
