rodel, if i wasnt in australia, i would be tempted... however it seems im not the only one who considers them as their dream wheel..

for anyone interested in a set and happy to pay postage, i can keep an eye out for them in either japan or australia. It would seem that the rings are prone to cracking based on the number of cracked/repaired ons i come across. either that or japs dont appreciate them enough to look after them!

so good sets dont come up all that often

Yeah, I like that color...reminds me of a glossy jet fighter. The wheels look good.



I'm gonna sell the Volk Racing GTS wheels to buy to next set of wheels.

Looking good Jill! How do you like the KSports?

I am planning on going with new coilovers this winter. Any suggestions guys?
Also, any tips on rolling the rear fenders?

If you want it to turn out properly, you may want to cut slits in the rear fender lip so that it will roll easier and turn out better.. Other than that, just take your time, use heat, and do NOT strong-arm it.

Lots of heat. I didnt use enough and it cracked but you cant really notice and im not woried about it. I didnt cut slits or anything either.

I like the hsd coils as far as the cheaper coils out there. Kai says there awesome. Never owned any but if i didnt get the zp ones i would have gotten those. They have the best f/r spring rate pairing imo. If not you can always get custom springs from eibach for any coils.
