Soon to be 3 Owner
 
So I'm hoping to pick up my first 3 tomorrow. How's the price of $14k for a 2004 "s" manual with about 14k miles on it sound? It really seems like a great car, and although I'm sure it won't be like my old Eclipse, I'm hoping it can be made into somewhat of a speedster.

Does anyone know how big of wheels it can fit?
Is Hiboost.com the place to go for a turbo?

hiboost is the best. big wheels = dumb move. Welcome to the forum!

you want speed and want to throw some heavy oversized rims on the car. You need to REDUCE rim size as much as possible while lightening the vehicle and increasing the power.

You're going about it the wrong way.

also larger rims can throw off your handling, they may rub and damage the body panels, etc...sometimes less is more.

Agreed. Stay with the stock 17s with some good performance tires.
