well, a small fib

maybe not PERFECT For FD's which has big 'ol 16x8 at +50. But I know these fits FC perfect cuz 1) they came off of FCs and 2) I had 16x7 et38s up front on 205s and they didn't rub.

M5150, what did you mean by 'at alterations'???

Yo,


Cool cool, thanks for posting 'em! I currently have 3 sets of rims in my garage, just trying to clean them out. *grin*

Any price break if I don't want the tires?

well...
I currently have 7 sets of rims in storage space... so I guess we're all in the same boat

if you don't want the tires, take ~$100 off. I gotta pay the tire guy $20 to unmount all the damn tires...

M5150,
thanks for enlightening me
no, they are NOT at alteration. They're in a 10x10' storage in Cerritos.

Jay,
per my email to you, the Super Advans are spoken for. I *HOPE*

Did they ever make those in a 17x7.5?

If so, anybody know what the offset is? They'd look great on the WRX.

Mykl,
R.S. Watanabe makes rims in all Jap bolt patterns/ sizes/ offset. They even have 3 pc RS-8 w/ magnesium center sections (which mine do NOT have).

Infini,
I found a badass jap dude w/ a shop in Nagoya, bought a bunch of **** from him, and imported it myself. He built a supercharged/turbo'd Civic HB. Pretty cool ****. Them Japs told me to have a wonderful 'car life'. LOVE IT!
