19's vs. 17's
I just put on my 19's today and it make sthe car SO much slower! I guess I'm going to have to just cruise from now on. I have crappy pics right now but I will be dropping it tomorrow and will post good pics tomorrow night. By the way I went out to play pool with some of my boyz for 2 hours and when I came out and drove off one of the wheels almost fell off cuz someone had tried to steal them!!!!!!! Now I'm EXTREMELY paranoid!

i know how you feel... someone actually jacked my wheels when I went to paintballing...
plus, a pool hall is usually packed with "not so trusting" characters... not to place any judgement on you tho... I go to pool halls too...
but yes, 19s are def slower... but, unless u race ur car, you'll get use to it... but, get some wheel locks...

Pics will be up tomorrow night after I get it dropped. Now I have to get my Carlsson bumper fixed and put back on. My idiot friend ran it into a curb 
They are 19" 5 spoke staggered Sevas wheels. Getting wheel locks tomorrow. And I hate how much slower the car is with 19's. I think it might even be slower than stock now (havent really got a chance to push it yet, its been raining all day 
) Anyone know what spring pad sizes I should get with my H&R Cup Kit?????

what did i say? i dont even remember what went in the ***** but the only thing that would fit would be a word that means the same as steal. i cant think of what i might have said that it would need to be changed...
not that i care but just curious.

Thanks Azpinator The Sevas wheels have only been in the U.S. for 3 months and are carried by a company called Euro Trenz in Miami (I am one of the first people with these wheels 
), They only run about 2500. As for the speed tuning usa chip, yes i felt a noticeable increase in performance (I have a group buy going if you are interested contact me).

Your rims look excellent - I think 208's were made for 5 spoke rims. The drop looks great too - whole car is slung looow now.
