Lookin' good! The Volk TE37s will be what colour? What's the offset? Will you need to roll your rear guards with 235 width?
cheers

offset... dunno :| As far as I can work out, they're originally off a DC2 Integra (don't quote me on that)

The 235's are *just* rubbing under hard cornering, so I'm going to get 225's - I don't want to start rolling guards. I've put the stock ones back on for now :(

I'm thinking titanium silver, and I've got a set of red RAYS stickers to replace the white ones they have now :)

No point running RT615's or similar for the daily commute, I think you'll agree, and I didn't have to pay for them anyway.

Unfortunately I only have room for 1 car :(

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

great site AJ, but not dial up friendly!
How did you come across it??? The rims look great, but 19\" does not leave much rubber between rim and road...

yep yep :D ... i concur .. those are awesome!!
Those really are beeeudiful..
Although its all down to individual taste, IMO a nice set of rims can
make a car as long as they put a twinkle in the owners eyes
otherwise its really a bit like wearing your 5 year old worn out gardening sandshoes with an armani suit.

Is there a higher res link to those images?? as the site doesnt seem to be working for me..

its a pity they're a 5 stud other wise i'd try to organise a group buy for my NA... :lol: :
