the FD newbie site is great, he's got some fantastic stuff up for sale.

regarding the spirit R rims, arn't they just BBS RGR gunmetal rims with mazda center caps?

i don't mean to knock anyone who imports the JDM rims (i might go that route, and in any case, FDnewbie will be getting my business for other parts) but it may be cheaper to source the rims locally and then add center caps.

your thoughts?

cheers.

Negative. They're close, but not exactly the same. The Spirit R wheels have some features that cannot be obtained directly through BBS. Please see the description of the wheels on my webpage for further info
