The weights should be here. I hope those wheels come soon to.

Rishie

FYI, for any of those interested in doing this combination. Please get the H & R hubcentric studded spacers. This will allow you to go back to stock wheels without open ended lugnuts whenever you want. Plus you'll save time on not having to take your hub apart to install the longer studs. Remember, time is money.

$240.00 shipped for 15mm spacers should be the right price. It sounds like a lot but it really isn't all things considered. Just an FYI. 50mm - 15mm = 35mm on 8" width. This is perfect. 50 - 25 = 25 mm on 8" width which is too low for the front.

There is a black second Gen with polished FD wheels for sale in the for sale section. Looks pretty nice. I wonder if anyone has them chrome.

If you are looking for a set of FD rims, just go to the 3rd-Gen For Sale section or the Wheels/Tires FS section and look for a used set of wheels.

By the way Spool Up, your car almost makes me want to rid myself of this damn FD for a T2 exactly like that

Bump for this question.

Also are the spacers needed if i only want the fd rims on the rear of the car for drag radials? or are the spacers only needed for the front?
