Dinky ***? LOL
Blundy's pretty sure with the new mani and T4 we can hit 500 whp on pump... and I have Trav-*** reconciled that I'm going to blow his ---- up to achieve it.

Admittedly, the Lenso's w/ the 245/50 don't handle for ---- in the twisties... but you can do a credible combo job of handling and straight line grip with inexpensive 14 or 15 inch rims.

No man. I traded some heavy used drag 17's for these wich are brand new, much lighter, and correctly sized and offset. I dont have any alignment or suspension issues. I just replaced the alxes,springs,struts,rotors,wheel bearings, bushings,tie rod ends,balljoints, and added camber kits and got a 4wheel lazer computerized alignment.

Seriously, you *don't* want the taller gearing. I'm guessing you're saying this because you have a lot of wheelspin... it's due to poor alignment from mis-sized rims/camber/castor/old worn out bushings/shocks. The big rims are killing off power. At best you have an Si/EX trans, equivalent to an LS gearbox, and NOT ideal until you hit near 500 whp. I'm serious about those big, heavy chromies slowing you down - so much rotational mass - and the thin rubber band sidewall helps you handle through curves when you have excess suspension slop, but you have no sidewall to fold against the ground under acceleration to create a larger contact patch.

CHrome is the thing in china. Maby its a sub consious anti hotroder thing but i dont think them bieng chrome should have anythign to do with it wether its machined silver, polished, painted ect. The style isnt that bad. The color and size is personal preffernce.
