Sorta. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v187/shalerpunk/blawyer-R1-020-8A.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v187/shalerpunk/blawyer-R1-020-8A.jpg) Bling bling, bitches. These things weigh like 19 pounds each (according to bathroom scale)… I doubt I’ll end up using them, but I had them laying around and wanted to see what 16"s would look like on a car that came with 12"s. (By the way, if anyone wants that Mustang, let me know ASAP. I need that thing gone. It’s not mine, so I don’t know dick about it. I can give the owner your number if you’re interested.) ---

If I do, I’m going to put together a turbo setup similar to the [www.ssgti.net](http://www.ssgti.net) Stage I kit. It uses a GT25, but I want to use something with a bit more output, like a GT28RS. 200hp is very acheivable with the motor, in a car that came with 49hp from the factory. I think it’ll be a little quick. ---

I think it’ll be a little quick. just use the compariable t series to the 28rs… you can get it for 400 no problem whereas the 28rs .64 is like 1100… kilmer420 is selling one in the auto classifieds… make the project a little cheaper. ---
