Man....

I really REALLY like these rims. I want a set. But I have the BlehmCo BBK, and dont want to cash out for a set only to find out they dont fit.

Wish I could find someone close to me to do a quick test fit to see if they clear my BBK.

BTW, SouthWest Ohio.

rims looks good...but in my opinion you should have drop your car prior to buying the rims that way it looks perfect without the wheel gap you have there..

How do you like those Toyos? It was down to those and the Falken 512s and I went with the Falkens just because the Toyos are brand new.

if you have just the relocation kit, they will fit. if you have the 300zx calipers, they wont. I'm stopping by Matts house later on this week to pick up the relocation kit.

so far i have no complaints. they definately have better grip and control than the stock potenzas but that was given. performance has been excellent in the rain as well.
