Default Decisions decisions..

Wheelsvs. Heads[8D]

Summit Stars (15x8,15x4) vs. Dart Heads (Aluminum 195cc)


Don't have enough for both.. I am also out of a job for now so it would be awhile till I get more money.


I think the wheels would be important cuz they look nice and would knock off weight for dragracing. The heads would be good for adding more power!!

Question though could I bolt on these heads to my engine or would I need some upgrades as well to use them? check my sig for my mods.

If your budget limits you to the heads, and only the heads.....go with the wheels

There are a bunch of other small things that you will need to buy for the heads.....if your budget is that limited, I would wait...

wheels for sure. Definitely shave some weight off, and hey, asthetics comes into play too!

100 # = 0.1sec. Alum.heads save more weight AND make more power.
Go on a diet, ride your bike to work (when you get work), go for walks whth your girl friend / wife instead of the movies. SAVE $$. BUY the HEADS.

or not.
