I love the waffle wheels. Do those fit on 85 GSL-SE? Are they hard to get now-a-days?

I think they are Weds? or something. I don't know. I got them from coldy13 years back.







Alls I knows is they are 15x6 so perfect for rally tires, and they fit 4x110. And the last time I saw a set for sale, they went for $600 and they were in about the same condition...

Eventually the car will be on GSL-SE rear and FC front suspension, with 240SX wheels for the rally tires and 14x6 steel Honda wheels for street use. Yay fuel economy!

Has anyone got a pic of a series 3 with Hayashi Sakura/Yayoi wheels? The Aussie S3 has the same stud pattern but I'm not too sure about the offsets/what effect those offsets might have on the wheel bearings.

I loved the stance of the 225/50/16's, but they rubbed, bad. I could of fixed it with a set of new axles, but that would have been counter productive for my future plans(ZG flares and relipping the same wheels to about 10").
