Off topic.. but while we're talking about wheels.. would 4 x 4.50 or 4 x 114.3, 9mm offset fit an 85 GSL 12a?

Nate, check out Konig.. I'm planning on getting rewinds, they look great

Does this tickle your fancy? 17" Konig's with 205/40r17's up front with 215/40r17's out back. I am using wheel adapters to got to a 4X100 bolt pattern and a +35 offset. This is what 90% of your Honda's and Yota's use. The wheel adapters where about $230. That seems like a lot of up front cost, but you have a heck of alot more options of wheel selection.

I'm planning on getting Rewinds too for my 1979 RX-7 (4 x 110)
I'm just going back and forth on whether I can use the 0 offset 15 x 7 (w/195/50/R15 in front and w/ 205/50/R15 in rear) or whether I must use those dam 22 mm offset 15 x 7 wheels?
I want the deep dish look.

Current look:
