Aftermarket wheel question
I see a lot of you guys running larger wheels/tires and wondered where to buy some of these. Tried searching but couldn't find much. Any suggestions would be great. Im looking to upgrade my 85 GSL. Peace all.

One of the most common wheel upgrades is to get a set of the 14" wheels used on the '83 Limited Edition model.
They're commonly referred to as "snowflake wheels". Other than that, there are some older aftermarket Enkeis and Rikens, etc. that turn up in junkyards and on eBay from time to time. I'd post a "wanted to buy" message in the 1st gen. parts for sale section and see if anyone responds. I seem to remember reading a post about some new 15" wheels in the 4-110mm pattern that are currently available, but I don't remember who makes or sells 'em. I do remember that they weren't cheap, though.

TireRack, come on they have not had 4x110mm in 15+ years.
ROH, I picked up a set of 4, 3 of which need to be refinished from eBay. Currently running the LE 14" bbs style wheels (?snowflake?), which are the same OD with the tire on as stock. That way your speedo is still accurate.
