Tom stop messing with the rims....Its a waste of your money....Start working on your turbo. You are already unhappy with your 18's. This is your third set of rims or your 4th.....Why would you waste more money on another set.....

Do the Turbo

Well you just answered your own question....Do you see how stupid it is that you have had 5 sets of rims..You should of kept my rims on the car.....but anyway.....Go for the turbo....All the money that you want to invest on all the other mods from your last thread should go for the turbo.

With that paint job, you need a turbo to back it up.

Like I said before....Since you dont listen to me.....You should of kept my 17inch rims on the car, instead of selling them and buying used 18's with lower profile tires. Now that you have the rims on the car...keep them, just avoid driving the car in the snow and becareful of potholes and raised man hole covers, and curbs.....

Now...With all the money that you were going to put towards a new rear bumper, fixing the roof, suspension, interior stuff, audio stuff and what ever other nonsense you were going to waste your money on....Save it. Put it in a seperate bank account, Do not leave it at your house. If I know you, you will spend it if it is in your house. Put it in an account and save it for a turbo. Do not spend it on anything else for your car, your car is fine for now.

For once in your life stick to your plan, get the turbo.....Every week you have a new idea of what to do with your car, and you never think things through.

GET THE TURBO!!

You can always get other rims down the road....dont waste your money now

Plus, the way i see it....rims are cool, but once you get them, they're on, and you're done. You cant even see them when you're driving your car. Get the turbo, you'll know what power you have, you'll feel it and always be able to improve on it with $$$. Plus, not everyones going to like you're rims, but with a turbo it will be a FACT your car OWNS!!!
