why not look at konigs or rotas, they look about the same, relatively inexpensive, and they are available in 4x110...

Diamond racing wheels? They make some nice rims for good prices.

That American Racing wheel looks good. I think they look a little bit better than the +20mm Konigs. They look a little bit better than the Rotas too. Again, good luck finding them in 4x110.

Anyone know if Rota is making those wheels in a size other than 13x7 yet?

max without rubbing is 15x8 with 4.75 backspace.

2 sets of eps for my flared RX-3.
15x9.5 with 4.75
15x10 with 4.75 (blue epsilon)

He posted a pic above, pana beside black meshy. And use the largest tire that will fit without rubbing, I'm too tired to figure that size out myself. And for that price, go for it.

~27 years ago I saw as set of wheels like that on a 7. I think that was the first time I noticed the car and that is when I started buying them.
