Turbo it. I'd rather be fast than look good.

lol well I'm going against the majority and hopefully gettin 19's all around, but NO one makes the rims i like in the 5x115 bolt pattern, and getting them in 5x4.5 is just sloppy, so I gotta just keep looking...

I say 19s may be 20s like Aftermath but not the same ones.

A turbo is just asking for trouble IMO,lots of work :gun2:

trouble is finding 19's I like with the bolt pattern I need...
If these Axis Spiders don't have the bolt pattern, I'm gettin some Enkeis that will go really well with the hood and kit.

i never noticed any vibrations, or the lugs shearing on my aurora, and i got it up to 140mph, 130 a few times. my brothers mother in law has it now, its doing fine, they were the 5x4.5

.7mm is so tiny, manufacturing defects could probably account for that. thats .07cm, and there's 2.54 cm in 1 inch, thats about how thick paper is

19's will look sweet, are you doing black rims again?

^ I get what you are saying, but theres more to it than that, I find out a lot of this crap working at discount tire company.

I'm doing black rims again, but none of them come in 19's so I am gonna most likely do 18's

I think its funny, how would you turbo the car. You will spend more money because it will have to be a custom job. There are no current available turbo kits for your car. If you are thinking of getting a custom turbo job and pay the extra, you might as well get a supercharger. Because then you are getting more for your money. the RSM stage II supercharger kit is constantly pushing 80 hp at 7-14 psi, and a turbo lags... make the smart decision.

^ theres a couple options, like a DIY kit from exploited racing, or a kit from cavalier connections.
And I would rather turbo it than supercharge it any day of the week.

I'm gettin rims anyways, so laugh all you want but there are turbo kits for my car.
