Hmm...last time I checked they were real rims...

WHat do you consider real rims..big, huge, heavy and aftermarket?


No thanks...I'm going to stick with 15's for performance reasons...And I happen to like the Pumpers..perhaps it's because I know their origin..and can appreciate it...

OMG, would everyone stop ****ing bitching at each other...... to set all you morons straight, a friend of mine has an R/T that runs a 13.4 1/4 mile, N/A no internals (he has cams and headwork, but no pistons, vavles etc) he runs this with NO NITROUS. but yes, it does break down on him a lot, the car is always torn apart replacing something.

wow

leave it to a few of the uneducated people on this board to turn it into a flame war. If you don't like th looks of the car, so be it, as aesthetics are completley subjective...But my car is MUCH faster than 1/2 of a car...lol The car stock will beat an EX WITH bolt ons...

Perhaps if you knew about the car, you'd know that they have been tested to a 7.3 0-60 and a 15.7 second 1/4 mile time stock. Infact, a friend of mine just ran a 15.2 with a muffler, Iceman intake, and AFX PCM...Can an EX do that with those mods? VERY doubtful...
