good luck, they don't make them anymore. rears are pretty easy to find used, but the fronts are rare.

Guys,

Just an FYI. Paul (Bitkahuna) is the new owner of these wheels and they are on his car - so wheel questions you may want to direct to him. Joe (Sockfocks) is now riding on HRE 540's.

The ride is pretty good with the Tanabe springs on stock 16's and stock shocks. When you move up to 18's get a taller sidewall because you will definitely feel the cracks, joints, etc in the road. There is no system to weigh the back down. In fact I like the slightly raked look. Its more aggressive than a even drop at all corners. But....jonny is right..I no longer have the wheels.

so the rims in your picture aren't the rims you currently have? i'm confused? they look small to me..? what size rims do you have now?

what's the gap like? how many fingers can you fit between?

Look at the dates guys - he *had* the L-Tuned OZ Salinas last year. But now I have 'em!

My GS has Tein Flex coilovers and the combo is decent. Especially since I now have new tires on.
