cool little fact, did you know our cars......
Did you know the 2.2 balts with the 15 inch RIMS are enkei's ?????? I took my tires off yesterday to clean them and my buddy was helpin me..... and he had this look on his face and laughed. I asked what he was lookin at and he's like dude u have enkei rims. So I looked and sure enough stamped or molded into the rim is the enkei logo that says enkei. Don't know if the 16" or ss rims are but I just thought it was kinda neat. Anyone else ever notice this?

They make a lot of rims for GM, when I worked at the Saturn plant all of our upper trim level cars had them.
I work at the Cadillac plant in Lansing now and we use them here too

Improves steering
Improves handling
Improves braking
Reduces chance of tire failure
Dramatically slows pressure loss from permeation
Improves fuel economy
Reduces tire oxidation
Eliminates interior wheel corrosion
Reduces running temperatures
Decreases false alarms and activation of Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems

Also, nitrogen absorbs moisture, and compressed air contains moisture. The moisture is bad for the wheels, tire sensors and the tires, and causes decay. And it is more stable than air under high heat (aka speed)

But yeah, the stuff is great. Dont forget that the gas is inert, therefore less prone to expanding or shrinking, and will not ignite. In the 30's, the USAF used Hydrogen for a while, until it started blowing stuff up.
