My new shoes!!!!!
Well, finally got around to getting a new set of wheels to replace the horribly ugly 16" Cragers, yes I said Craigers, that a previous owner had installed. I ran across this set on ebay and couldnt pass up the deal. I got them for about $600 shipped. They are made by Zeit, some JDM company I never really heard of. Any how they are 17's 8.5 up front and 9.5 in the rear. Offset is +45 on the front and +40 in the rear. They arent the lightest wheels in the world but I can live with it, about 20lbs for the front and 22lbs for the rears.
Here is a link for pics of how they looked when i got them. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT
I really like the way they have the big lip look but still in a good offset. Thats what first caught my eye. Anyhow the wheels were in pretty rough shape when i got them. All 4 were curbed up pretty bad and the silver paint wasnt in the greatest shape. So i sanded out the curbage and then refinished them in a nice bronze. Got the tires mounted yesterday, 255/40 in the front and 275/40 in the rear. The fit is perfect. Here are some pics, enjoy.

WOW!
they look great man! the fitment is spot on and nice tire size choice too.
the bronze really looks damn good on the red.
those weights arent bad at all ya know, you'd have to spend 4x as much $$$ to buy a wheel that weighs less enough to be noticable tot he driver.

Here is a better pic for ya.
As for the mirrors, that is the one thing I dont like about this car, to me they looked like big dumbo ears sticking out from the beautiful lines of the car. I really like the look of the APR carbon mirrors, to each his own.
The color does look really dark in those pics, they are a bit brighter, but it was rainy/overcast when i took those pics. Im very happy with the turn out.
