JMS. They were the only 4x100 wheels they had as far as I know.

I've got some 16x7/8 Volk GRC's if you're after 16's. $600 plus shipping

I had a set of 17x7's last year but the offset was terrible and the new tyres that were on them when I bought them were far too high a profile. These should look better. Hopefully I can put the front of the car back together tonight and pick the wheels up tomorrow

seem a little big for an na ?

Yeah I'm not generally a fan of anything much bigger than 15's on NA's, but I do like VS-XX's and these were available. I've still got my 15 inch SSR Mk2's and Mk3's as well

Obviously depends on tyres/lowness but I can't see why not.

The new Enkei J-Speed on my unfinished NA project! They could be, at this time, the only set in Australia as they are not imported here :)

Stunning photo, beautiful car (and rims) .
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
