    I wont be able to do the 4 lug thing by the looks of it. It would require a two piece adapter at about 35mm thick.

    I vote change the bolt pattern to 5x114.3, I don't think it's too terrible as far as work, and the more lip the better. Equip 03's are a strong yes

    I think those wheels and the fender mirrors would be absolutely fantastic! I think the air dam would make it look just a little too busy, but either way, it would look sick!

    Keith.. I personally think that is the way to go with your car.. The mirrors do add a bit of retro class to the car, and spoiler does well to hide the low slung oem cross member..

    Ok, considering fender mirrors and front air dam as well to kind of complete the transformation so to speak. I just dont want it to be "too much".

    Possible plans for motor swap being worked up, just need to decide on what to use. Want it to be fairly straight forward with the least amount of complication. Nothing crazy, just something to get me to around 175hp and a true 5 speed. As it is right now, im lucky if im hitting 85hp and I only drive surface streets due to lack of overdrive. Not really into the m41 with overdrive switch. Hoping to complete all of this over the summer.

    Im really getting stuck on 15" equip 03's, but I will have to figure out the adapter situation. Will likely have to have a place custom make them im guessing. But it will definitely eat into the offset im hoping to get out of the wheel. I ordered a cheap 15x8 wheel from ebay to start the measuring game next week. The other option is changing my bolt pattern altogether, which I would be totally fine doing that if its not a huge pain or too expensive.

    Im still trying to make sense of how it will look and the wheel specs needed to get it there. 15s could end up looking small, but wont really know until I have the right wheel on it. I need to mock something up to get an idea.

    Thanks, Im really thinking its the right direction. Changing the wheel size/style/fitment does a huge job in changing the vibe of this car.

    It just comes alive on some silver or chrome.

    Looks too dope in that rendering.
    I totally agree. Its like the black steelies are fine, but I dont really want to settle for fine.
