well what do you like? old school or new stuff?

for old school, panasports are nice

new stuff...kosei k1's are nice and they make them in 4x110.

i just bought a new set of 17" tenzo c type wheels (look exactly like racing hart c2) for my fb. they're heavy though. most guys will tell you to stick to 15's

I just bought a set of rims from jd wheels for my '81 GS...they are called Snypers by ROH, and I love them. Go to their website to look at some pics. I paid about $560 for wheels and lug bolts. They ship from the East coast...I ordered mine on Wed. and had them on Mon. in Virginia. I think they look sweet!

I forgot to mention that I ordered a set of the Kosei rims and waited about a month before I found out that they were stuck in customs and it would be at least another month before I would get them. I found the Snypers, and in my opinion they smoke the Koseis...they are machined, not painted.
