New Wheels, No stroker :(
Well, the family wanted dirt bikes and a atv. I couldn't say no so I broke down my stroker money to buy everyone a bike. Of course, I got a dirt bike for me to. The wife felt sorry that I took some of the money I been saving for my stroker, so she bought me these wheels that I been wanting. All and all not a bad deal. Here are a few pictures of my 18x9 front & 18x10 rear.
Spoke to STS turbo who is coming out with a turbo for the C4 so the storker is out. I much rather have a turbo. Funny how things work out when you go with the flow sometimes.

Lowering kit on the way. No adapter needed for the wheels. The fronts are a 25mm offset and the rears are a 41mm offset. No problems at all. Went on like the stock ones. There American Racing Wheels. As far as the turbo there working on a single turbo. No talks on a twin turbo as of yet. But even with a single turbo the numbers are very good. Better than a SC. Price could start around $3000? But I figure by the time there done with all the fabricating for the plumbing a realistic price would be $5000. Well worth it for the power gain.
