Also, I've said it before, but those are some sweet cosmo's. I'd give my left... um...... kidney to get one!

well I got the new wheels on. the old wheel size is

18 X 8.5 +36
18 X 9.5 +45

one of the front wheels looks to have a nice big crack in it. it was on the inside
if you still want them let me know 3 are good for sure.

they might be good for winter wheels. some wheels you dont have care about if you ding a curb or what not.

they are works wheels

all 4 for $75 plus shipping if you want them.

here is a link to the old wheels

87GTR, could you let me know about shipping to 60050? Luckily I know a guy that will either repair or rebuild wheels like the one with the cracked lip.

87gtr,

When I was in Japan I was planning on changing my 20bjcese cosmo to a 5 speed. I had bought the mount off of Japanese Yahoo for 28,000Y. I think? I never ended up installing it into the car though. I was planning on using all T2 stuff with the exception of a custom driveshaft. The shop that makes the tranny mount also fabs up driveshafts for like another 80,000Y. After my reserve tour is up I plan on going back to Japan as a civilian and getting another jc cosmo. I had some enki rpf1's on it. They where 17x8 and 17x9 +35 all around. They fit "ok" but probably could have gone with 10J's in the back.

yeah its been a while. I might end up using a FD tranny as I have a spare one. the mount does not look to hard to make. they guy on yahoo is now like 38000 for them. but you get the paper with the inkon on it for the auto to 5 speed swap, so its easy to change your title.

yeah you need to come back over here.
