    What times are you running and what mods? Everyone looks here so that's why I poste it here.. And also will I run into any problems swapping my brakes to gt brakes to run a 15 inch rim?

    What are your intentions for the car? why 15in rims?

    i would not do that unless you plan on drag racing every week

    They make some decent drs for 18in rims

    IMO a lighter rim for auto crossing a grand prix is not going to make that much of a difference....just get a decent tire

    No auto cross would be my 18 if I don't sell them the lighter rim will be for the track and plus with a 15 I have a wide variety of rims to chose from vs 17's or 18's
