i think its fine just the way it is.
besides, wouldnt the cost of more rim, and less tire equate to money to actually make a better handling, or more powerful car?
i mean, thats just more my approach. to me, asthetics are important, but primarely after you already are at an extreme level of performance.
nice car Chaos

^I don't really think people buy Corollas for the performance and handling.

nice chaos, looks good. what kind of gas milage are you getting in there? i am kind of in the market for a new car and i would love to get an old Ferrari/Porche/BMW etc. but something that sips gas would make more sense.

a 308 really sips gas nicely even when driving hard; 2 hours of hard driving, and only a little over a 1/4 tank was gone...

yes in comparison to the world we are still low on the list. but a 308 would be nice to own.
not to steal his thread but does anyone know the costs of owning one?

if you find a good one, its not 'that' bad
but, you have to factor in the MAJOR service each year, costing at about $7500 +- a wee bit

Hey what ya know. We have a car that is like that as well. (It's my sisters car.)
Ours is a 04 Corolla S.
The car is not that bad actually. But it could be a bit faster on the accel and up hill. I hate going up hill in it. Currently my sister is gone and wont be back until 1 week and I have been driving/abusing her car ever since. :roll:
I think I got pics of it uploaded already but let4 me see if i can find my camera and get some current pics.
Enjoy the car man its a pretty good choice. Very good gas millage. It has the best gas milliage out of all the cars in my immiedate family.

Congrats on your new car. I have used that phrase before, but I don't always lterally mean "new" car. Must be a very nice feeling, knowing you are the first owner to this car, having chosen the colour, the trim etc.
Have a good time with your new ride!
