If it looks FACTORY, then I must have done a good job! Nothing special for our clears. Allen found something at Home depot and I cut it precisely to fit, that's all. As for our suspension...nothing I could find lowered it quite enough for my taste, so I simply cut a coil off my spring! Just cut a coil off your eibachs, should work just as good, just a bit bumpier.

I'm personally a fan of the 89-91 stock TII wheels...besides the BBS 'Vert wheels, they are the best looking stock rims out there for FCs.

That would be sweet, I'd love to get a set of those. I love my stock BBS's, but 15"s are just way too damn small.

I have my stock mesh wheels on my white 89' TII, I was thinking about 17's in the near future. But it's so damn hard to pick out a set of clean lookin wheels for it. I was thinkin about the white enkie's (spelling?) I saw in a import mag ad on a white miata. But they look a little bit heavy (i'm all bout' perf. over looks). But those wheels on the skyline are sweeet! ahh too many desicion's.

Im running the stock T2 wheels with the 10 slotted openings that have been so previlantly displayed in this thread. However, mine are going to be powdercoated white when My car gets painted IROC blue.

SWEEEEEET!

Hey Ryan,

I love those rims. I've described them a dozen times as the ones I think would look sweet as hell on my TII. Never knew until now who makes them. Yeah, I forgot to mention that on Monday. All the ads in the magazines have either 90 variations on the five spoke or some alien looking chrome crap design.

Didn't Porsche use that design on 944's??

I also loved the BBS rims that came stock on my 88 vert. Wish they were 16s

Mike
