#2.

Reason: I'm not much of a wheel guy myself so the Volks dont matter to me that much and if your gonna swap the head then you might as well bolt it to a K24.

First I think the cf will look great. Second get the turbo, you can swap later but the turbo will probably be enough power anyway. I dunno what color your ep so I wont pass judgement on the wheels. good luck

Im going to assume that your car is black by your avatar and choice to go all CF, with that being said bronze rims on a black ep IMO is gorgeous. Stick with your engine, get some new 'shoes' and run 13's :p.

Rev model 2 are the same ones I am getting in the dark bronze for my blue ep. I just got through lowering it. Have you lowered your yet? I'd like the turbo kit too, but going all balls could be fun too.:D

I say go with #2. But if you're going to do that, factor in the
cost of a new clutch and maybe a limited slip as well.

I also agree with the statement that if you're gonna go with
a head swap, might as well bolt it to a K24 or K20A/A2 block.

i'll be the odd ball out, yeah the turbo would be nice and hella fun, but there isn't that many people out there with the head swap. atleast not on the stock block. i personally REALLY want to do it but can't find a head anywhere.....me though, would just skip the wheels (maybe some rota's) but nothing too expensive...i would waste all my money on the motor and probably some nice coilover's maybe some mugen's....that is my opinion

rev model wheels are at a great price. they are actualy almost less than rotas. they are on sale now, and you still get your 10% discount. i think the total comes out to like $680. check the vendor fourms, thread: looking for wheels? or something like that.

#2 my friend there should be no ? unless you had money for a complete K20A2 swap thats the only way I would change from the turbo.
