It was actually the stock one of the car, it broke so I had super glued it back together. lol The lugs are blue ones, 5zigen brand.
But here are the semi-final results of what I and a friend did.
DAMN! those were the exact rims I was looking at for my car when I was still planning on finishing the build
they look really good! I was kinda skeptical at first but now I'm (well, I would have been) sold!

Thanks, yeah I was kinda skeptical when they were sitting in the basement wondering what they would look like. They did turn out better than I thought.

if it doesn't have an effect on the intake charge at all then why would they design it that way? removing heat from the intake charge would help, however small, espescailly in the HOT texas heat.

It will help some i agree but not enough to live with the cold start issue that you might encoutner, but you are in TX so it dont get that cold there.

Same here....I'll pass 85k (stock motor and turbo) this weekend when I go to NC to pick up my gf. Luckily I found a shop here that'll rebuild/upgrade the turbo with bigger guts (so I'm told) easily under $500. I'm surprised I've made it this far.
but I really didnt mind lol, I did but it was a mile away from the house so I limped it home, pulled it into the garage and then got a bit angry... then cried a lill, then started think of future planns, and got excited about a motor build lol
id ask them for more information on that... cuz thats a hell of a deal, the only shop that could do it here in town told me 1100 for a reubuild on my T25.... so I said screw that... and bought my GT28RS for the same price lol

Yeah, I found it a bit weird that it was that low, but the guy who told me about them has already gotten a quote from them to rebuild the turbo off his Audi (supposedly for $750 - but its a bigger turbo if I'm not mistaken). Its not an issue yet because I don't have very much saved up. But once I get some money I'm going to find out, because just like you said, its a hell of a deal. If its true, then I can't wait!
