Default Put my old wheels on

I need to take the car in tomorrow to get some "popping" in the steering fixed and put my old wheels on so they wouldn't say anything...I noticed that on the front driver side the bigger wheels were rubbing because there is a pretty deep place where they were scraping or something. Also, the stock wheels chirp like shat when my car shifts, I had never had the firmer shifts yet with the stock wheels because I got the tuner after my 17x9's. Just thought I'd share, lol.

I have never messed with the sct tune, just told the person (site) that I got it from what mods I had and they sent me a the 3 tunes on it. I don't know that I would trust myself messing with anything other than like the gear ratio setting...[&:]

I didn't realize how good the new rims looked (how small the stock ones are) until I put 'em back on!

Yea, stock rims are fugly, the only ones that look halfway decent are the 5 spoke rims on a select few GTs.

Well some are and some aren't. Like almost all of the sn95s were either 3 spoke or some weird *** 5 or 6 spoke pattern. It's the 99-04s that intorduced the standard 5 spoke look.
