its up to you to decide, rims give the car a nice look but youll need to drop it. Performance will make you feel better but no1 else will notice.

Well from the looks of it he seems more so performance oriented. By my saying of building the engine its a big stepping stone towards Forced Induction. The Ls safe limit for boost is 8 PSI, correct me if I'm wrong.

Not flaming you at all but just stating...

There is alot that goes into building a motor especially in what direction you're going in. Also, there should be a necessity in building a engine.

Also, PSI is air pressure and it's almost irrelavent when relating to how much a engine can take. It's about the amount of stress a engine can endur (sp?) and the CFM of airflow per PSI of air pressure.

OHHHHH so you know everything thing now huh?


But anyways. Its all up to you. If you looking to go fast and still want a set of wheels, then your going to want a lite rim which will more then likely put a dent in the pocket. And performance wise you can only do so much stuff unless you decide to go for turbo which should give you some "pep" in your step haha

a nice set of rims really set off the car, but what im doing is keeping it looking pretty much stock and doing performance....i have a black coupe with tint and i have random people come up to me all the time asking me what kind of car that is and how it looks good... i'd say performance , but its really up to you
