The car looks mint!! Love the factory parts...
Out of curiousity, how much do the wheels weigh with rubber???
I've been contemplating going 17" for a long time... I still can't believe the stock rims weigh so little.....

i also have a set of these rims, and i like them very much (although they are still waiting in my basement for tires and a finished car to be mounted to ). i got them 2 years ago from jt-imports used (but in really good shape) for $900 shipped. they look really subtle, yet more agressive/ less dated than the 93+ wheels. you wont be turning any heads with these wheels, but they are a nice touch... and personally i prefer subtle to extravogant.
one thing did cross my mind though the other day... how about buying another 2 8.5" wheels for the front... so i could run 255 all around. would i see any sort of gains keeping the fronts and rears matched??? too bad they dont make a deeper dished version of the rears... say a 9.5". then i would be set as id like to be running 285's in the rear for my extra rotor . -heath

93 silver bulit, what kind of paint did you use for the caliper job? It looks really nice back there. I actually want to knwo what kind of white paint you used and where you got it.
