ill get more pics up soon, i know they're not rare but rare to see on this car lol, i did a FC front subframe swap and a ford 9 inch rear end, 205/55/16 front and 225/50/16 rear for reference i think its like the perfect stance for these wheels

Watanabes are nice but Panasports for some reason look better. The spoke design on watanabes seems too straight.

got these from a tire shop that has been around awhile. the owner told me they were ordered in the mid-80's and for what ever reason they were never picked up.

All 8 wheels are Appliance - 4 turbo-vec and 4 slotted mags. I got center caps for all but only one set of the roto-lugs.

I like the look of the slots but I want to go 15".

Kossi K1s are a great, lightweight racing wheel. However, they are neither rare or especially hot.

So it looks like I'm going to be selling the AutoBanh's instead of keeping them. I'll have a FS thread up in the West section this weekend if anyone lives in Socal and is interested.

Turns out the guy who sold me these was terribly mistaken.. They are not 4x114, but 4x110. I can't use these -_- .. They are up for sale in the West classifieds and 1st Gen section. Really wanted to keep these after all
