exactly. I just called the guy seems like it might actually go through. Going to refinish them, but I have always liked them. Just a little worried about 17" tall and 10" wide haha.

Picking up the new wheels tonight. Now I need a color scheme.... I hate gold.

matte black face with gloss black lip maybe?

or gloss black face with copper plated lip?

Can't make a choice.

Has some curb rash, but I'm going to redo it all anyways. Can't wait. Picture of the rear for good measure:

Matte black face.

Lip either the way it is, brushed, or like anthracite maybe.

so funny how big 17" looks on this car. Just going to have to get some 35's and drop it 3 or 4 inches. This is all your going to get because I hate gold and the height its at.

Not only is it going to be fender flush.... trailing arm flush also. 2mm space

yep. Need to do some calculations:
10mm spacer front
15mm spacer rear
215/35R17 front ( 8.5" wheel )
225/35-17 rear ( on 10" wheel....)

Look how much they want for coils... not including rear....just a spring in the back.

Probably b/c it is an older model and requires difficult specs

yeah. It looks like people just modify the existing coilovers setups to, which seems like the best option price wise.

This car is just one snag after another. I just bought a fiberglass racing hood that is going to need so much work

Wow, is that the best you could find on coils?
