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.
Thats awesome man, That would be sweet to find some brand new fins in 4x110. Ya, the front is perfectly flush. The rear is just a little tucked in. 215 or 225/50/15 tires should solve that though

there was someone that posted some used but clean ssr fins 4x110 for sale not too long ago. They were complete with centercaps/plates/key He posted on a thread that I started where I was looking for any SSR exc. I tried looking for the thread but cant seem to find it.

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.
RR, flip one of those bad boys over, put a straight edge over the rim and put a ruler down on the rim center, and snap a pic and post. That way we can see backspace, and help you out.

Thanks Berny, it looks like 4" from the back of the hub to the edge of the wheel. What do you think?

From the pic, it's probably a little less than 4" and I'm assuming that these wheels are 15x7, right? If so, it's not looking so good for an SE suspension and stock fenders. These look like a Toyota offset wheel.

mesh wheels suck, way to hard to clean. If you drive the car everyday then you drive it with dirty wheels everyday, lame. Anyways I like 5 spokes the best right now the fn01rc are on my fb, although I had a pair of LE wheels with a polished lip that were super sick if they were in a 17 size I would fap

I'll quote this and give the thread a bump for sweet justice.

Get the man his wheels!

Yeah, I was 90% sure when I bought them they wouldnt fit (on my rx7) but I just wanted them for the center caps. I'll have to run my fins with the smaller lip

Yes, these are 15x7. My other set is also 15x7 but a much friendlier offset. Here's a pic as we test fit the other set on Gary's car.

Those wheels on Gar's car look right on, the others on a SE set-up will be rough.

a 7.5" wheel w/ 4.5" in backspace would have +6mm offset; nice specs for a 12a car .

ssr reverse mesh are the real deal
