Inseration comes by UPS today!



I took delivery of my three sets, sans two that are still "in transit,"

15x7 (4x114.3) for the SA... need to be completly refinished

16x7 (4x114.3) for the FB... A step closer to the desired out come in sig

16x7f & 16x8r (5x114.3) for the FB... After I do a S5 front brake upgrade and possible ford rearend "upgrade" for sake of better gearing options.

The tire, but two, all have good tread. Though I'm going to have to do some research on them as they seem to be Japanese market only, but most are brand name yokahoma, dunlop. There's a set that say "max grip II" hmm, maybe well see. For the time being I'll be running the same Kuhmo 712's that are on my current 16"s.

When you do upgrade to the S5 setup, I'd LOVE to buy the 4x114.3's off you...

Seriously! e-mail me or PM me if you're interested.

I am pretty sure that the car in his sig is not his. That is what he wants his car to look like when he is finished. I think that is the renesis sa but he has changed the color. Can't wait to see your car finished man. Good luck.

Nothing looks better than deep lips on a car. Are you sure you are not rubbing?
