Long overdue, but they just arrived at my door!

No dings or dents on any of the wheels, came with the original paper work, and the original bolt on valve-stems!

The markings on the back indicate they were made in August '84, a little under a year before my car was made. Match made in heaven, if you ask me.

Excellent find! I wouldnt use the original valve stems. Just get new ones. But keep the original ones!

84stock 12-31-10 01:32 PM

stems are fine! Just get new rubbers for them.

You install them yet?

Percentage 01-18-11 03:45 AM

Test fitted, getting rubber in the near future.

Going bareback huh? You need to wear your rubbers!

Yeah, it would be terrible if I had any riken offspring running around in my garage!

Pics of them on the car please, they must look sexy on it.

Percentage 02-01-11 02:27 PM

I'll be sure to post more pictures when I get some tires for them in the near future.

I have fender flares that I'm going to put on with my lowering springs, tokico blues, and energy suspension bushings in the near future. Just thought I'd post an update.

Looking Good!! :icon_tup:

Those wheels fill up the wells nicely, why would you want to put flares on?

Percentage 05-25-11 10:32 PM

I have spacers for them, so they'll technically have a lower offset, and I'll be able to lower the car a little more.

Thank you, by the way.

Those look excellent! How is that T2 swap holding up?

Percentage 05-26-11 09:03 AM

The engine is running really well., since it's warmed up a lot of the boost creep has stopped. Holds steady at around 11-12lbs. Feels and runs great.
