    Thanks! Doubtful. If come across some 16in style 5's maybe but I'm happy with these wheels. Light, cheap and look good. Only real plans for the year are to lower it a bit more and fix the clutch that is currently slipping. M42's aren't powerful so only being able to use 1/2 throttle in 3rd gear and up can make highway driving annoying

      Makes sense. m42 = no power (still have to love it tho) and with your current circumstance I can't imagine that would be enjoyable on the hwy. Did you see the thread on here about the low boost (9psi) bolt on turbo kit specifically for the m42, I found it pretty interesting.

        Oh yes. Once I get the clutch issue sorted that has been on my radar for a bit. I like the M42 and want to keep it rather than swapping...but I just want more power, haha.
