Might do that. I love the faces but the offsets are so weak.
Where should I go to get different barrels for these?

Doing some surgery on a '98 200SX SE-R. Needs struts all around, valve cover and oil pan gaskets, tune-up, passenger CV axle and fluids swapped. Otherwise, at 114K it runs like a champ.

haha. Dont even know if it would work (haven't done the math) but figured with so many faces and lips something nice could come out of it. I've actually been looking in to getting new barrels the past couple days. I'll let you know what I find out.

Put some 20mm Ichiba v2 spacers on the fronts today. Now I'm at least sorta-flush instead of hella-sunk :
Before:

After:



Specs now;
Front 19 x 8.5 +18 (+38 w/20mm spacers)
Rear 19 x 9.5 +42

you could easily stack another 10mm spacer on top of the 20mm. Lordy.

colormatch what? if you're gonna colormatch something you should do the face of the emblem the color of the car, not the whole grille. Or do an emblemless
