2. 17x7 5x100/114.3 40 offset
3. Innovative 5 spoke on 5 spoke design. Offers more than just a plain 10 spoke wheel.
4. I found a super good deal on them (less than $400 shipped w/o tires to my front door) & I'd like to keep that on the low-low until I have them in my clutches. then I can divulge all my info on 'em.

Yep...sorta. I had to raise the coil-overs up in the back because they were rubbing. They still rub in the back sometimes if there is weight back there, i.e. passengers. They are 18 X 7.5s w/ 215/35/18s (I'm not sure of the offset and the Teck website doesn't have it on there). Basically I have heavy wheels, heavy tires, and no sidewall protection. It rides like complete **** w/ the 18s on. I don't recommend 18s for a daily driver.

Well, I officially ordered my wheels 5 minutes ago.
To answer all questions, simply go here:
ADR SZ1
Ebay is still my number 1 spot for wheels...hands down.
-Phil
That's it for a while (apart from tires)...I need to save for this camping out @ the SE Meet and a cruise to Mexico w/an old flame of mine (after 4 years of not knowing where the other one was, she found me by googling my name...go figure). Besides, some local guy is supoosed to be taking a mold of my hood and Topher's trunk to make us some CF stuff....so hopefully i get a free hood outta that.
-Phil
Colombian women > ALL
(And no smart-assed comments, she's a college grad, not a HS grad, JIC some one noticed the Class of 2005 on the hat).
