I must say that I like them.
How well do these fit in your wheel well?
Now what does the rest of your car look like?

k... first of... wheels. For some reason I can't stand the word rim.


Anywho.................. I love the look of that car. For some reason that purple/blue with the trim is just plain beautiful. If I wasn't such a believer in leaving my GSL-SE stock and I didn't love them in white and black so much I'd go for that color when I get it painted this summer.

Guys we call them Rims or wheels here in australia lol get over it.
The rims / wheels have been redrilled and sleeved to 4 x 110, in my car the rears will be lug centric and the fronts will be hub centric as i have custom front hubs and brake set up.
The centre of the wheel is 65.1 mm so ive just removed my front hubs to get them machined to suit.

just what is this? something done to the bolt hole due to it being out of round by .039(1mm) now? if so, hub centric wheels wouldn't really need it. its it possible to buy wheels without bolt holes?

sell rims

mate those wheels sold about a month ago for $700 au that included tyres.
I live in Australia so freight would have killed you.

They can be bought as a package thru a company here in Aust called

WWW.tempetyres.com.au roughly $1200AU new with spacers, wheel nuts etc, but again freight would kill you.

You could try to source them there they are called Lenso Concept 5's or there is a copy made by star corp.

Cheers Paul

I like your wheels, too. I would only blast off the lettering graphics to totally clean them up.

Gawd I hate you guys with nice 7s so much further down the line in restoration! =)

Sweet wheels though. I was bummed to hear you had to customize them to fit as I'm looking to upgrade.

I'm still rolling on 15x7 TSW Hockenheim Rs, center cap black to match car.

I've tired looking for those Lenso's over here....but LensoUSA is a completely different company without any of the same models...and the cool rims they have in Oz will cost a forture to get here.

Going Simmons FR17's eventually...just gotta say **** IT once in a while.
