Rims. Hands down. How often will you use nitrous?

Rims. Besides, from what others have mentioned here, you'll hardly feel a 60 shot.

NOS!!!!! Listen bro ya the rims look flashy and all but the Nos is gonna give you power on the street. Then you get the rims. I went the other way around.

Judging from what type of car he has, getting more power while retaining the crappy Potenza's isn't such a wise idea at this point in time.

As for the nitrous...

I read on this sight that you're gonna need more than a 60 shot to feel the difference.
Buy rims, or save up for a supercharger.

If I had to do things differently, I would have gotten the NOS setup first. Then I could determine a little better what weight and size rims I wanted and whether or not they would counter-act the NOS. Now that I have 19's that are like 20 or so pounds a piece...in order to get the speed I want, I am going with a bigger NOS setup. Just my opinion.

well after reading the ten replies to this post..the vote was 8 to 2 in favor of the rims..so thats what I got (rims in the link with pilot sport a/s)..I went with the a/s because I live in CT, and I am not sure if I want to change rims for only a few months. BTW, I was getting my H&R's and KYB's installed today, and I started talking to the guy about N20..I see this in the very near future...

You just made the right choice, I mean before giving more power to the car you need the car to stay on the road and those crappy Potenza... Nitrous...

Cheers

You want show or go?
I would take the rims probably. Too much to do with the nitrous.

NOS it up. Go for at least 100 shot. Then you can determine what size and type of tires might be good.
