what do you guys think I'm on the fence about these they look sick in the pictures but then I'm afraid they might look like crap! Some guy on SVTP photo shopped them on an 03 they look sick IMO tell me what you guys think!

Not really my preference, but don't look too bad. I could care less if someone crys about "oh it's been done before, everyone has them, bla bla bla cry cry cry" If it's something YOU like, DEW IT!! :nod: ;) :D

they look good on ps, but make sure the offset is right. Theres a few people who put 05+ factory rims on a 94-04 car and it looks like ass, not to mention the wheels are super skinny and look lame

+1 let my buddy borrow my s197 wheels for his cobra when a hater slashed his 315 dr radials on his 03 cobra, offset is way wrong ....

IF you can get them on the proper offset i would say it would look awesome

The main thing to think about is, who are you trying to make happy, your friends or guys online? Or yourself? No matter what or where you ask, you will always get guys who say they like it, and you'll get the haters! And with that being said, if you're not sure about something to the point where you have to ask your friends or strangers online, then why bother? Do you go online and post pics of shoes or a pair of jeans/pants to get someone approval? You know that if YOU like something, you're gonna buy it! Simple as that! :nod: :cheers: :)

I've been thinking about those rims also. My only holdbacks are the 18"X9" only sizes. Not wide enough for the rear of a New Edge. Not big on 18" or larger rims either. I have liked the look of these as soon as I saw them on a 10 GT500 though.

those wheels is :rice:
The steeda ukltralight is a good lightweight wheel choice. They are a slim 5spoke design and look way better than those yolks.

Some of you sound like ricers with your main concern being the weight of the weels....

ummm... I am VERY concerned with wheel weight. That's why my drag wheels will be 15in. and forged. :rice:

I find it very cool that you will have drag wheels but that you wont be doing any drag racing. :look:

I think what ever makes you happy is what matters. I have normal rims and I always get shit from everyone telling me that I should get rims but I happy with what I have.


Good luck...

Trust me.. you don't need the small painted Termi mirrors or goofy flat skirts,[rocker panes]. If it was vice/versa, they'd wan't our look!!
You need a power advantage.

I know dude for real! how you liking that 2.1 KB? thinking about it too love the roots style I was going for the eaton swap but after I heard about all the B.S you gotta do I'm thinking twice about it!

Yeah I considered alot of blowers before deciding on the K/B. I probably spent the equivalent of a week doing searches on the Mach1reg, SVTP and Modularfords. I finally decided on positive displacement because its the most streetable. I like the right now power under foot.
The centris. can obviously give the most at the strip, but I never set out to rule the track.
An Eaton swap is great if you have every part and theres alot to get and you have to consider how many miles and condition of said parts. Then you have to get every last nut, bolt, gasket and hose. If you do all that then you're perfectly set up for that Whipple swap.
The K/B kit is pricey but its complete down to the last zip tie. And works well with the option of turning up the boost with a forged bottom. I personally am totally satisfied with current hp.
The only drawback is that to make power you have to burn fuel. One thing I always liked about the mod. 4v is that it got fantastic mpg. You will lose that no matter how ginger you are with your right foot.

With my set up if I was easy on the gas I got the same mpgs as if I were stock. But once I put my foot in it mpgs went out the window...:laugh:
