Great choices on both the seats and the wheels. I've always liked the BBS RGRs, and the Spirit R seats are (surprisingly) worth every penny

Now where can I find some Spirit R Recaro Type-A buckets?

Good Luck ! I got by the sound of it the last set of 10" Wide rears of those in the country and I had to purchase them with different finishes 1 chrome / 1 gunmetal, and then strip and powdercoat them to my taste....

Not sure what you mean, I am aware that the rears would be 9" wide and I'm ok with that. Not looking to get 10" wide BBS but I'll bet your set looks killer.

Tire Rack won't let you put anything wider than 10.25" on the rear of the FD due to fitment / clearance issues, and the RGR's are tough to get in the first place, I'm just warning you if you see a good set, you might want to strike fast, as there seem to be less and less of the "Odd" sizes our car needs... in BBS's with that spoke pattern...

Some very quick snapshots of the offset, and "Look" the rears are RGR's like I said that were re-painted, and the fronts for comparison, are different (don't know what model) but they seem to be from BSS's racing line

I have those wheels on my FD...personally i wish i had 17s not the 18s. IMO I like the stance of the car on 17s. Just my 2 cents.

Well after collecting dust and being overloaded with other projects I am putting this one up for sale. I have posted the car in the for sale section of this forum and if anyone has any questins or interest in this feel free to email me or call. I will not part out this car because at the price that I'm asking, it is only worth it complete.
