We'll have to keep an eye out on craigslist and ebay.. If I can get two i'll be happy. Put those on the rear, the dust caps kinda work for the front. 4 would be best though.

Damn. Let me know if you ever come up on some or change your mind.

Thank you. Took a lot of sweat and time but turned out beautifully. If you want to know how I did it step by step just holler.

I'd kill for a set of those 15x7.5 supermesh in 5x4.5.... I don't think they were ever made, sadly.

Argh.

Damn dude, freekin awesome! I'm jelous. I must find a set of those to keep in the garage for special occasions.

Please post a couple of pics looking down the side so we can see how far those wheels stick out on a gsl-se. Maybe a shot standing at the front corner of the car, and one standing at a rear corner.

Those are +10 offset correct? You mentioned no curb rash......... did they have some before you polished em up?

Really.

Half of me wants to keep them for when I get a first gen.
Half of me wants to polish them back up and sell them .

(They are in excellent shape, just a little dull. )

The more rounded part of the airfoil should be towards the front. It'll work a little better that way. Also, those things work and look better with some end plates (if you had them, I wouldn't know it was backwards ).
