Thanks Guys! The rims are 18x9.5 in the back and 18x8.5 in the front, riding on 265/35/18s and 235/40/18s respectively. No rubbing so far, even coming in and out of the driveway, and no suspension mods yet, though I do plan to get new springs/struts. The rears are huge and from the back kinda dwarf the now wimpy stock mud flaps. Glad I didn't go any wider (10" rim/285 tire).

Yeah, those are nice. I like the finish better than the SE37Ks.

What was the price difference between LE vs SE?

What offsets did you use?

What other wheel center finishes are available, than the gunmetal finished wheel center?

How much was the whole package?

I considered the se's early on, but I don't think I ever priced them. Either they weren't available or I could never find a pic of them on a car. I saw the le37k's on the HKS supra at suprastore.com and had to have them. +40 offset.

Now if Chuck will just hurry up with the Feed Front End! If you look close at the pics in the link you can see the damage from my recent fender bender (passenger front nose).

yeah at http://home.sport.rr.com/fd3s/ It looks a little better now, because the suspension has settled a bit more. I took those pics after letting it off the jack stands.

az_lynx: try to pm Rishie for details regarding what finishes are available and what it will cost. Mine was ballpark around $3K wheels and tires. I have +40 offset, could probably move up to +42 or more if available I would think.

martini: yeah I agree, plus the whole car is filthy. I haven't had the heart to wash it since I wrecked it.

DamonB: thanks!
