Do you think it is so close because you lowered the car, or would it probably be the same if the car was at the stock height? I really like those wheels & tires. I have an 82 GSL also in formula white, and with Potenza GT tires (on the stock 13" X wheels). I would change them in a heartbeat to what you have, if I was sure there would be no rubbing problems. Your ride looks awesome!!

It will take care of itself eventually. Looks great though. I figured you would have chosen some wheels with a bit more gold and spokes but you surprised me!!!

Just one more quick question. Did you mount them with studs and lug nuts or did you use lug bolts?

He shouldn't put the LE's back on. He should give them to me. I'll trade you straight up. My LE's for your LE's. If you aren't going to use them for anything but autocross, then why bother having the pretty set?

I hate those wheels....


But only because they dont make em that fit my car! They do look great on your car tho, Im probably going to eventually get panas in a similar finish for about 3x the price!

I just got mine in today from JLB Motorsports as well! The stock lug bolts do work, but I had to use a socket instead of a lug wrench to mount them as it was too thick to fit in the holes. Thats only temporary though since I ordered new lug bolts with these but they were accidentally ommitted in my order. I paid $500 for the rims, $835 total delivered with the new 205/50/15 Ziex tires and the lug bolts. Check out the before and after pics below. I just had her tinted yesterday too, and I think it really brings out those graphite spokes on the wheels. FYI she only has 33k on her, and that is stock suspension. I drove her a few miles down the interstate and then a few more "spirited" sprints on some country highway - no rubbing whatsoever! What do you guys think of her?
