I just searched 8 pages, and didn't see MY wheels on there. They have been sitting outside for many years, and are ready for a refirbish. When they are done, they will be HOT. This pic was taken before I picked it up. It's a lot cleaner now, and I have started to repair the rear quarter that someone kicked in.
What'cha think??

Not quite sure about hottest but I love em and I have yet to meet someone who could tell me what they were so if any of ya'll know please let me know 
The most I know is the previous owner had a friend who sent them to him from Japan and they are 15x7.5 at 4x114.3, havent quite had a chance to weigh them yet.

Have you ever measured the lip on those wheels?
I just picked up some new SSR fins from Japan but the lip is pretty fat. The offset of the wheels is not listed. I bought them knowing that the probably wouldnt fit but I just wanted them incase I got an old schooler that they might fit on.
Anyways, does anyone think these will fit the first gen or is there no way in hell?

I dont know the backspace but they are 15x7. I dont want to run flares because the body is in such good shape, but hmmmm, I might have to consider it, I'm just hoping they might work without flares. thanks, I like em alot.
Hi Bern, They are for my white car but it is in the process of getting converted to gsl-se suspension all around. I already have another set of ssr exc fins for it that I know fit, but the lip is smaller. Those fins don't have the centercaps and plates though. I bought these because these are brand new with centers (and I know I can always sell these to an ae86 guy, these are 4x114.3). I hate to put these new centers on my used wheels but I may not have a choice. I'll keep hunting for centers for my other set in the mean time.

Brand new SSR fins...score! I always wanted Autobahns, SSR fins, or Eps. Where you get them and how much you get them for if you don't mind?

cool, I havent measured these lips but they are about the same as yours although my car now has gslse suspension so I think they will stick out just a little more. I'll just have to try them out once I get my front suspension back on my car.
A friend in Japan got them for me. I guess they were sitting in some wheel shop for 20 years from what I was told. Price? Well, lets just say they weren't cheap. I paid more than they went for new.
I still want to pick up a set of Autobahns as clean as yours but that's next to impossible. You really lucked out when you found those wheels.
