i personally think bbs are played out. dont get me wrong they are nice wheels but they are really abundant.

how about some alley cats? i figure these things with the standard 205/60 sumitomo cheapies should do well for daily use. i need to get my 16x7 simmons redone before bothering with tires for em, but i'll post pics when they're done. same goes for my 4 spoke 3 piece wheels sitting in storage... if/when i do go for big brakes the market will be flooded with 4x110 wheels :P

Here's my rims
I love these rims. I had wheel adapters engineered to accomodate these 16" rims without having to change my axles or wheel hubs.

Does anyone know the widest wheel that will fit in the back of a gsl-se without sticking past the fenders? Size and offset please. Thanks
