Rims
Any guys out there kno what I'd have to do to put rims on my 84 GSL. I don't want to buy the rims from BV, I want some nice rims, but because of the bolt pattern, it makes this difficult. Any suggestions?!?!?!

search fold old Enkei (sp?) mesh wheels, Enkei also makes newer wheels that will work with the 4x110mm lug pattern. If you have the cash and are able to find the parts, you could also swap to GSL-SE suspension and rear. Also search the archive about installing FC hubs onto your car. I know CP racing makes a kit that will allow you to do so, but its kind of pricy.
Personally, I would just look for some nice old Mesh wheels though. I think BBS may make some in the 4x110mm pattern as well.
Hope that helps some,
Chris

The wheel options (new) are very limited for the 4 x110mm pattern. I think there are only a few choices: Panasport, Work Equip 1 (see thread), and Kosei K1 Racing (tirerack). If money is not object look, and you want larger rims 16" or 17" look at Simmons F90-16 or F17 (Simmons are semi-custom three piece wheels).
If none of these work, better start looking on e-bay for a decent set of used wheels (Enkei's, Riken's, etc).
If you find any others that fit, please post them.
