bolt ons vs rims??
Im debating whether to either get tsw nurburgrings(i know a friend who can get them wholesale for $1300) and i need new tires anyway so im not including that in the cost or should i get this package from phastek that has a CAI intake and stainless power headers with cat delete for $950 and since im getting headers id have to get a tune which is $300-400 for a dyno tune? so they are around the same price and does anyone know a good tuner in the KC area? i have a warranty until next july and not sure if i want to void it or not. help me decide
Thanks |
if you don't want to void your warranty,go with the wheels.that's what i would do.

Rims for show, bolt ons for go, depends on what you want to do. I would go for the bolt ons but that's my opinion. All that's matters is what you want more

Not sure what the rims you are looking at weigh, but lighter un-sprung weight is a performance enhancer too.

My stock rims are currently plasti dipped. So they dont look bad and but with the nurburgrings id run 315 out back would that increase my traction noticibly and I know the weight savings will help some too.
Diode dynamics- thanks and cool I love leawood. Whyd you move too stl? |

I love the sound of headers, and like the stock rims. I pinstriped the edge of my stock rims and it made my like them alot more, only cost about 9$. with my cars I do usually wait to buy rims when i need tires. But in this case, I really like headers, cai, and a tune. Makes the car great. I acutally have SP LT Headers, and CAI Inc intake, and a dyno tune, its a great combination, I love driving my car so much more. |
A set of wheels changes the look of the car exponentially. I'm a big fan of the bolt ons that I've done...but my Nurbergrings are probably my favorite purchase.

i did the same thing with my car since i needed tires. getting lighter/wider tires will greatly help your performance along with the looks of the car. i remember watching an episode of 5th gear where they compared typical mods and noted that the top 2 items that improved the performance of the car was upgraded wheels/tires and driving lessons. go with wheels/tires. you'll get better performance and probably fall in love with your car all over again everytime you look at it. |

If you need a hookup on tires, shoot me a PM. I know somebody local that can help you out

I would prefer the intake/headers/tune.
The OEM wheels are heavy as crap but I really like the looks of them. I know lighter wheels will give you some performance but I can't imagine they will be any where near the 40 rwhp you'll get out of the headers. |
