Lug Nut Configuration

I have a question, when buying rims for my 84 GSL what are the lug nut patterns (4xwhat?) and also, what is offset and what should be the maximum/minimum for that?

I want a set that looks good, thats it, performance and other doohickeys that seem to cure world hunger and make babies happy are of no use to me... all i want is looks.

cheers'

Well, assuming you can even find something that will fit, yes. The lug pattern on our cars is very hard to find on any aftermarket rims. I myself am in the process of finding some. There are only two real options I have found that I like. ROH Snypers, and Kosei K1's. Look around on here for the thread called "Anyone Have Kosei Rims" and read that. You could try www.thetirerack.com, and see the Kosei's. But as you will soon learn, theres not to many choices for you, sorry .

how about doing a gsl-se with the 5 lug pattern swap (rotors and calipers and whatever else) is it a hard mod to perform? and realistically would it allow for better looking rims?

you have the swap the spindle in the front and the whole rear axle in the rear.
the kosies are very light (like 12 lbs a peice)

I just ordered the ROH snypers, you can see them at
