The Rewinds are making me think twice about switching to GSL-SE spec suspension. If I can get great looking wheels like those, then why switch?

You sure got some purty wheels, hehuh.



Pardon the high jack but quick question. I accquired some mesh wheels like your previous ones for free about 2 months ago. Sent them to a friends friend to have the curb scratches repaired and havent heard anything since. What are those wheels worth? Did I send a rare, high dollar set of wheels to someone who may have hocked them? Again sorry for the jack.

Damn, that looks sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Better address the loose trim below your fuel filler door, before it falls off. Carefully remove it, clean the adhesive tape from both surfaces, and apply new tape. I got the tape at a local parts store, 3M brand.

Are you lowered? If so, how'd you go about doing it? It looks like it has a nice stance.

Any chance you could take a pic on the inside? Showing strut to tire clearance.

Welp you beat me to it. Congradulations it looks sweeet!
My tires won't be here until Wed. Also putting on 205/50/15, also have ST suspension, and also using same wheels. Dang I wish I could say you were copying me but you had all yours first Looks really good. Have you had a chance to rail any corners? possibly hit a bump or two...any tire rub? Doesn't look like there should be any though.
And yes I'm also curious of the wheel/tire to spring/strut clearance...we don't need a pic or anything...can you squeeze a finger between the two? Thanks.
