Default New RT owner with ?`s

Just picked up a 99 RT today and was wondering if anyone has any pics of neons woth 16 or 17 inch wheels. Id like to go with one of these size wheels but want to stay away from lowering the car. Just wondering how it would look not being lowered.

Also are there any things I should watch out for on these cars? Any common reoccuribg problems to watch out for?

Love the car so far! Just wish I had power windows and door locks. Oh well!

well, depending on when in the year yours was built, it could still have the old style headgasket design. if it starts leaking oil down the back of the block, there's oil in the collant, or there's collant in the oil, it's time for a new headgasket.

as for wheels, go to http://www.neons.org and ask around. there's tons of people with larger wheels on their car.

power door locks and windows? they only add weight.

Heres a pic of my old car.

car with 17's


I would recommend lowering it. You can get mopar springs that only lower about 1.25 inchs and I think its well worth it. Good luck with the car.

Big Dodge, sweet icon you got there I have a 99 R/T with 18 on it, if you leave your email I can send you some pics of it. By the way I really only watch here. Get the stripes painted all the way down like I did.
