Depends on who you ask... but not "all" knock-offs are trash- my terminology of trash refers to a ill fitting rim that looks like trash... eg. a 7.5" on the SC, a bad offset that results in a sunken in look, etc...

I think those rims would look good on Yakuza but 7.5" and wrong offset - NO WAY.

Heres my set of BBS rims, 8.5x18" front, 10.5x18 rear wearing Dunlop SP9000 rubber, 245/40/18 and 275/35/18 respectively, the wheel and tyre package cost about £2,000GBPounds (not far short of $4,000),money well spent as far as looks are concerned.

Oh dear god please don't. I am a HUGE advocate against cheapo imitation casted crap rims, besides a 7.5" width is too small.

The J spec Soarer has all internal aerials built into the screens;

Diversity radio in the rear screen (and the remote locking aerial).

There is also twin TV aerials built into the rear side screens.

If I ever find the PR1CK who drilled holes in Yakuza to mount a rear wing and roof aerial because he was too f****n stupid to use the original ones I willl cut his f****n hands off

yes- my offsets will also be very aggressive to yeild the maximum ammount of lip attainable. I am affraid that some fender modification will be needed.
