Dude, I hate to break it to ya... They are not Mystique IIs. They are Speedy Hyperfangs.

They look good though.

This is the Mystique II

I think they look great, and the car will look wicked once it's dropped. You Aussie's have the 4x114.3 bolt pattern though right? Are your rear discs vented like our GSL-SE's, or solid rotors like our GSL's? I think it'd be interesting if they were solid....

Yeah,

Those wheels look nice. I would also suggest lowering the car a bit to compensate for that gap.

It's actually 110x4.

Nice rims but for some reason I can't stand any new style wheels on 1st gens. They gotta have dish.

PFFFT don't listen to anything Revhed says. And i think you should have gotten 16's, but they look nice regardless. Now you ahve the same problem as me, we have to lower our cars (i have the springs all ready, but ran out of money for the 4th strut and polygraphite bushings).

'81 - '83 had 4x110mm and uses solid rear discs.

'84 - '85 had 4x114.3mm and uses vented rear discs.
