Ok, so really I don't have the budget to buy new rims for my gt4.
I have the oem rims on it, I thought I'd follow a guide from the forum and paint them semi-gloss black to fit with the spoiler mount blocks and the set of lips and side skirts I ordered today...what do you guys think? |

OUCH
Looks cosmetic though The cheap part isn't a dig, just the suggestion of 6.5" wheels and smaller spacers in the rear suggestions are no-no's in my books. I've noticed some people feel this way about Neon's GT4, Personally I give the guy thumbs up, the worst you could do with a china turbo is shoot a turbine blade out your exhaust or get one lodged in your intercooler. It's a bit different to a modification which may look good, but give you another repeat (possibly worse leading to death) of what you've just shown in this picture right now. I do want you to enjoy your car, but I don't want you to die or have an accident over an ill advised modification. Also the whole point of explaining the high speed capability is so you know what the machine should be capable of in optimal form, anything less and theres something wrong, It's not that I'm trying to discuss racing at all -------------------- Mike W

It's already very powerful because of all the mods...all I need to do now is put back the stock intake and change the darn under splash panel! (which I don't know if it's worth it...dust and crap from the streets is still coming from the empty hole in the bumper...) and then the car will be back as new! |
