(I wrongly posted this in the exterior forum, I think this is the right forum now...)
Hi all, I'm glad I found this place! I just bought my first brand new car, and it's my first Sunfire as well! I've been browsing this forum for a couple weeks now since I bought my car and decided to join the forum today! I have to say I've seen some wicked rides on this forum and although my Sunfire is completely stock so far, I do have plans for it...
I got the car with 200 K's on it and have just ticked past 1080 km. I have to clean it at least once a week it seems, @!#$ty thing about living in the country with grid (dirt) roads.
Anyways, I know I need some 17 inch rims.. What else should I do...
Thanks!

Cool, what are you going to do with it besides wheels? Auto or manual?

it's a 5 spd manual... I'm not exactly sure yet, but maybe after I get some 17 inch rims/tires I might lower it a little (not too much though) and get the rear windows tinted...
and I'm definitely considering this rear spoiler...
TiTUS
here's another angle...
I think that spoiler in my last message would look nice on the back with the stock spoiler..

Nice, but how'ed you get 14" rims. I thought all 03+ fires had 15"

damn.. I always get screwed when I buy something...!!
ok, tire and rim question... Since I live in Saskatchewan Canada we get very long winters and I'd like to get a basic 17" rim probably black (stock style) any ideas? also, can I get winter tires for 17" rims? I'm a total tire newbie...

The canadian sunfire's come standard with 14's

I don't live in snow, but use your 14's for the winter would be my guess.

Yeah I guess they'd be good for winter use..
Thanks for the comments! Keep em coming..
I'm very happy with my new Sunfire, I love cruising around listening to my mp3's using my Compaq Ipaq. (currently using a FM modulator, but installing an amp this weekend)
Does anyone here have a carpc setup? I'm planning on doing a full out touchscreen, gps, backup camera, etc... pc system in my car... gotta love mp3car.com

OMG your name is Titus? Is that your real name. Its about time I met another Titus.
BTW the car looks great. I would get a bomex kit and some 18 inch rims. Make sure to keep us updated on your progress.
I still can't believe there is another Titus on here. LOL
AAAhhhhhhhhhhhhh a blank canvas..................the possibilities!! Have fun!!!

it's a nickname from a few years back when some of my buddies started calling me Titus because I kinda 'acted' like Titus off the tv series, I never saw the similarity though, but they insisted.... LOL
A blank canvas! I like that... there are sooooo many possibilites, where do I begin and where does my budget end! Thankfully I usually work 100+ hours every two weeks (doesn't say much for my social life), I'll be able to buy goodies for my toy and still manage to pay it off...

BOOYAH, they're not black but they're 17's... Enjoy.
I decided that until I buy some new rims/tires I'm going to go without hubcaps! Here's an updated pic!
My first mod (if you can call it that) and it didn't cost me anything...
