my car is nowhere near show quality, thus i will not spend anywhere near 2,000 on wheels. at the most maybe 200 for 4 ><

I will buy some nice wheels in the future tho, but i have bigger fish to fry

I saw a brand new (been sitting in someones garage) set of ssr exc mesh on craigslist for 2k a few weeks back. I wanted to jump on those but unfortunately, they were 4x100 so I had to pass.
Don't you just hate when that happens? LoL

time to bump this thread.

Here's me dreaming of how my new wheels will look on my car. There's currently no front struts as I'm in the process of putting on my adjustable suspension and new brake rotors. This is just in the vicinity of how they might sit. SSR EX-C FINS. (I'm still looking for the centercaps). 15 x 7 unknown offset but its perfect.

They did make the auto bahns in 4x114.3, I have an old pic from one of the first Battle Of the Imports with an AE86 rocking them.

Thanks Royce, I can't wait to get the centercaps. I just picked up 2 brand new centercaps, 1 new key, and 2 new collars. I still need 2 caps, 2 collars, and 4 plates. I have 2 plates off of exc mesh that I'm going to compare to the plates for fins. IF they have a similar mold, I'm thinking I might be able to have someone cut the points off of them and make them round.


I don't think I'll make Sevenstock this year I'm scheduled to work!
