you know what might look better than 08-10 20s is the five spoke 20s from that year amarillo.

the 5 spokes are one of the best looking wheels made, but they're getting harder to find clean sets of them

I wouldn't mind them, but it would look completely stock, I'd rather 08+ 20s, but I'll take any stock 20s for a good price.

Sometimes on start up(5ish sec after it cranks) there a whistle like noise. Anyone know what it is and how to get rid of it?
I think there's a thread here or on the org. about it, but I haven't been able to find it, a link to that thread would also be appreciated.

It's not the turbo, I'm not sure what it is. When UPS gets here, I'll go out and get a vid. I'm thinking something to do w/ A/C, but I always turn it off before I get out.

Mine used to do it with the stock turbo on it, your VGT vanes are slightly rusty, I bet it does it right before the turbo starts to whistle, right when the idle smooths out, I swapped turbos and mine stopped doing it

Sent from in a ditch up side down and on fire with the wheels still spinning
