Default Couple of quick questions....

I already have the awe full system on my car and was thinking of addind the evo intake and giac flash as well. Springs ive decided to go with H&R. I would like to do these mods in the next few weeks. Questions are how reliable is the
evo intake as well as the giac flash ? Is the extra power felt ? Any cel's with the
flash ?

Ps as far as wheels are concerned ive found myself som sick wheels i might go with. Will prb get them for christmas for myself ....



Will paint the center a diffrent color besides yellow not sure color though.....
carbon outer magnesium center. salesman i spoke with told me they are about as strong as hre's maybe a bit more. but who knows . in a 19 x 11.5 they weigh in at 15lbs. thats pretty light and should prove to get some better performance. but still debating if their strong enough.

How much are those wheels!?

They look, er, expensive, very expensive.

Strength would be a huge concern though.

The funny thing is that they wernt as expensive as i thought. I first called on the flash price and saw these wheels on their web site. I was a bit hessitent to ask the price. But im glad i did the retail price is 2k per wheel. So maybe with some discount im guessing around 1800-1900 maybe.. Not too bad for what other wheels are selling for....

My other choice is maybe the comp. series in the hre's in the 19's they weigh around 20lbs. Still 7lbs lighter than stock.
