MB272's, 15x6.5 and 205/55VR15's within 1% of rolling circumference, so everything is accurate, including offset and alignment:

LOL, sure they fit, after you do a full 2nd gen 5 lug suspension swap, unless you fudged and used adapters. How long do your rear tires last with the hp #s you're putting down?

They do look good on a 1st gen. If you didn't have the clear side markers, I would be inclined to powdercoat the mesh part to match the body color and leave a nice polished lip.

You've got one hell of a sleeper there Directfreak.

Are those wheels Enkei Apaches, My friend has set of 13X8 that fits the SE pattern that he is trying to get rid of and I was wondering what the would look like on our cars.

Those wheels do look sweet! What would be the proper offset for the gsl-se bolt pattern? Zero offset isn't right is it?

They only make the Sportmax 002 in 15x8 0 offset. Really way too much for a GSL-SE. They would prob. fit with 195 50 15 tires with fenders rolled. Dual bolt pattern, 4x114.3 and 4x100mm.
