Default Two questions

1. Will any 5 lug Rim fit on my car? say i wanted to get new rims (17"x8" forged wheels. will clear 13" brakes.) will those fit? How bout if i wanted to take the rims off a 1998 Cobra?

2. What should i look for when looking to tune my car? Should i get a chip, or a tuner? Where can i get the absolute best price on good quality reliable chips/tuners?

well for ur first question the rims should fit your car but you always want one enough clearence from your tire to your fender and also you have to make sure the lug nut holes line up with the rim. and they cobra rims would fit

as for question 2... you have many different chips to tune your car.. many of them dont work at all so if you want somthing that not totally bad in price but does show a nice difference go with a chip called the preditor... it should be around $90

Most 5 star rims will fit. Don't waste your money on a chip, granted they do help a little, but if you do one or two major to moderate mods to the car, boom, you've got to get it reprogramed. Just save up and get a diablo or sct.
