Pics of my rims

Ok, bought these from Justin (Forum Name ot81to) to go on my White GSL-SE.
Can't wait to see what they will look like.

If anyone has a white 1st gen with black mesh rims please post a pic.

Here is a pic of my car
and a pic of the rims.

If thats the look you want you need fender flares. I can't get out of my driveway with those on the rear. They are 15x8.5 -10 offset. Epsilon 3pc mesh. 225 50 15 tires. Nuespeed Springs/Tokico HP Blue Struts. Send me an email at camocarl@aol.com if you want pictures of a wheel size and offset that will work. Sorry for the hi-jack Chad!

My 15x9 Epsilons are why I went with the widebody. Mine stuck out just a little more, but I could stick a finger between the tire and fender lip. Cutting out the fender lips is fun.

A gsl-se bolt pattern = 4x114.3
Gs or a gsl bolt pattern = 4x110

I guess I'll jump on the bandwagon and show off my rims too, Throw something besides the mesh look in the mix ;-)





Rear


There 16x7's in the front 16x8's in the rear Work Ewings

Your rims look like the OEM wheels from a Datsun 280Z. My buddy's look exactly like those.
