I bought it at some place that is no longer in business anymore. I don't remember the name of it though. BTW, you made the right choice switching to a GSL-SE.

I believe 1st gens scream for BBS mesh rims. It gives it that classic look. Other than that Fikses, Advan or ADR look good to.

Anyone seen those new rims VB is trying to sell. They're 13s though and fit the G, GS, GSL models. $600 for a set, they look like panasports...

the old rims i used to have pictured there are epsilone's using the reverse side of the rim... so the plate is actually facing the other side of the rim, that's why it has big deep polished lip.. 15x7
