Nope the other holes are through holes for using spacers. There's only one set of tapered holes.

You can find them brand new. Just find a dealer that carries Work Wheels and they should be able to get them for you. Or check the AE86 forums. They pop up quite often but you're gonna pay 1,500-2,000 for them. But you can get any width and offset.

Anyway here are my real WEDS Bavaria I's 15x6.5 front 15x7 rear at this year's 7stock roll in. SSR ripped off WEDS with the superfins. I have no idea why the SSR's are so popular.

Oops, I have removed the Emblems....

got tired of the everyday question, "Is that car a Datsun?"

It was fun, but I have grown....

Back to the wheels now...

any leads on a 10-12 set of wantanabees??? anyone??

Looks like a stock hood with "CF Look" tape on top. Also note that car is Australia.

Yeah. You can see a green edge on the hood. Very nicely done, though!! Looks like 3d carbon vinyl.

yeah its cheap crap off ebay, looks the part but is peeling off of the 2 ridges going through the bonnet already. its coming off today for a straight black vinyl (better quality). the only reason its on there is because the 31 year old paint isn't doing the best on the bonnet.

as for the rims, i lowered the rear by 17mm again and it looks tough as! rolled guards with a hammer and rag.... i didn't go over top because i had no heat gun or hairdryer handy.
