You got me. I must have bad eyes, because I can't even see the dents!

Get some Corksport fenders, that will take care of that.

I too have a black 89 turbo, but let first say that is a very nice ride you have there AMUSED. second. I have been looking for wheels ever sense I got my car and I believe that the only way to get the right wheel, in the right size to fork out the money. I like the mesh and the 5 spoke look, depending on the wheel. the adr m-sport was a choice of mine until I tryed it on my car and it didn't fit. 8.5 with a 35 offset and it was rubbing the shock. so my choice of wheels is limited to what will fit my car with out using spacers. I think I might go with the advan sienna in gold or silver. but there are also some other 5 and 6 spoke rims I am looking in to.

Refurb them, it's not very expensive. The plus side of it being that they are discontinued and no one else has them. I'm considering keeping them so I can use them with my turbo swap however I would like some money to go to a greddy v-spec FMIC. So i'm divided.

bronze. but BIGGER IN THE BACK

1 inch. the backs will look smaller if you don't. run 16s in the front and 17s in the back or 17 front 18 back if you have money. but it looks goofy otherwise.

I like the first one personally. But the exhaust looks a little big to me. Id be afraid of it coming shooting off if i hit a speed bump. Launch the **** through someones window.

But definitly like the first ones

I really don't like the staggered look rather have 17's all around. IMO

They are, and I don't think they're "Veilside" wheels, I just think that Veilside is the company that is selling them, or producing them. But what do I know.

I wouldn't lower 1fast2s car at all.

Since when is the slammed look "better" ?

I also notice what everyone says about the rears looking smaller, but I don't see that problem with his car either...

VERY nice car, wish I could afford those wheels as well. Are they 18's?

Here is a pic of my rx7 with white 17" TSW Revo's on it. I bought these wheels 3 yrs ago special order right before they came out. I like the white on black but am now thinking of doing black with a polished lip. Hope this helps!
