^yeah, but they're also only 13 inchers, when I was buying new wheels I wanted to get something bigger, and I think most people would agree.

If you go to www.packracingproducts.com you will find superlites( copy of panasports) and they are different sizes.

The first rims that were posted about in this thread look kind of delicate for hard use such as racing. How do you think they would stand up to repetitive hard G cornering?

That is what I was thinking as well. I wouldn't want wheels that I would feel could easily break during hard cornering after a while.

I happen to know that a lot of guys use Team Dynamics as their racing wheels.

CamoCarl, he's our resident wheel specialist does, and I think we would all agree he's the wheel guru.

oh and goddamn! I kinda want to shell out for some of those wheels right now!

Before anyone jumps on buying them, get a firm price on shipping from Austrailia. That could take a big bite out of the cash reserves. I like both the minilites and the mesh.

Those look pretty good on your car. Are those 5 lug in the front and 4 in the back? I think those 4 spoke wheels from that ebay page are hott! I think if I wasn't in school, I'd buy them.

NGK spark plugs, and you get $100 back in change.
