gee, has it been a week already? Those won't fit, cause the bolt pattern on the SE is 4x114.3, or 4x4.5". Not sure on the offset (the 12A's offset is 40), but I thought I read somewhere that it was 25mm.

im pretty sure the gsl-se offset is +40. ive asked alot of pattern questions, this is just a shot in the dark cuz all the rims i want are 4x100 and someone said pattern wasnt as important as offset.

Just to clarify...If anything, pattern is MUCH more important than offset. As long as the bolts can go on and safely be tightened down, youre half way there. The offset can change by a little bit and still have the wheels be useable. If the pattern changes by a little, you cant use them . So, if the wheels you want, or are looking at arent 4x114.3, they wont work. If they are, then you need to check offset. Offset doesnt even matter until they can even be bolted to the car .

Pattern isn't as important as offset? I don't know about that one, while offset is important if you want it to fit good under the wheel well, without the proper bolt pattern you won't even be able to put the wheels on without an adapter so offset wouldn't even matter. You shouldn't have trouble finding wheels with the 114.3x4 bolt pattern, they're very common, especially when you're looking at old school Japanese wheels.

GSL=SE = 114.3mm X 4 bolt pattern, 40mm offset (running 38mm on my aftermarket rims without any trouble)

Manntis to the rescue. I should find an image of superman and superimpose your mug on it.
