if you get any with a lip on them,go a size bigger. Im kind of lucky tho,with these,they don't have a deep lip so they still look like 18's. Some look small with deep lips.

white rims aren't as a big deal when it comes to winter as machined lip rims and such,the salt eats the freaking aluminum lip like crazey. I already have fine hair size scratches from last winter because I was too stupid to not take them off, but I had just got them in October and didn't feel like taking them off,they looked so damn good:lol:

car looks great man. i hear what ur saying about taking ur rims off for the winter, machine polished rims/rim lips and chrome are a pain to keep perfect goin through winter. i took mine off before a heavy amount of leaves fell just to be cautious, always tryin to avoid even the smallest scratches.. i know its being a little too cautious...anyway good luck with ur winter plans

get the tires I have. 89 bucks a piece and they are all season high performance. Kuhmo ECSTA ASX's. I had them last winter,no slidding what so ever,I was REALLY pleased.

won't be for a while. Got classes for my associates degree to pay for and a part time job at Best Buy so until I can get a full time job and/or get done with classes(in my last semester) Then I'll start buying pieces to do the switch over to AED,then sell the AAS kit

oh ok cuz i still have my white 96 and seeing how u did all the hard work it should fit perfectly on my car when u decide to sell it

should if the car hasn't been any wrecks/accidents in front or rear. That all plays a factor because it does shift mounting points around

like I keep on saying........should get chrome plated bulbs for the turn signals to get rid of the amber reflection in the day......a side from the banner it's still one of the better kit GA s' I've seen on here...:)

I was thinking about getting the chrome bulbs but for some reason I missed the amber look in the headlights. Think its because Im trying to stay different then everyone else. All the young high schoolers are going with clear bulbs,after I did, and going with color bulbs that look retarted. I figure,everyone goes clear,why not do the opposite.
Eventually Im going spoilerless when I go AED
