    Glad you two like 'em. I'm not sure if I do haha. They should be the smallest size they came in, 15x6.5 +20.
    I'll get the thinnest adaptors I can (if I do) because 4x114.3 is, as you know, a very common size, especially for older Japanese wheels.
    So if I get a set of Starsharks with really low offset, i can squeeze them under the guards.

    Listen to me, Getting so far ahead of myself! haha.

    If i think I can clean them up to look like those without machining heaps off the lips I'll grab them.
    If they are in fact 3-piece, i will for sure. Want to rebuild a set of wheels. Just to learn.

    I'll see how I go. I'll test fit them if I get them and post pics.
    I have to resist spending money to fit them/on other unnecessary crap until i've bought a windscreen and brakes.

    6.5 et 20. is about spot on. if you put 15mm spacers on, giving et 5 you'd get about 10-15mm of poke. From the back it'll look funning having really skinny wheels so far apart (imo)

    I'd look at getting the wheels filled and drilled.

    yea, that's based on a 7" ET25 sitting approximately flush with the front gaurds. backs have a bit more room, and they all vary.

    You could fit them if you got some stretch, camber and super thin adapters.

    Not going to go out of my way for these.
    I want them because A) They're cheap. B) They're SSR's and C) They're 3-piece (i think) and I want to rebuild a set for the experience.
