If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

yep yep :D ... i concur .. those are awesome!!
Those really are beeeudiful..
Although its all down to individual taste, IMO a nice set of rims can
make a car as long as they put a twinkle in the owners eyes
otherwise its really a bit like wearing your 5 year old worn out gardening sandshoes with an armani suit.

Is there a higher res link to those images?? as the site doesnt seem to be working for me..

its a pity they're a 5 stud other wise i'd try to organise a group buy for my NA... :lol: :

genuine?... im looking for the "vork" writing but im not seeing it :lol:


They have VOLK (not VORK) writhing on one side and RAYS (not RAVS) on the other

I got the set with tyres for $400 as part of an aus-cartalk used parts special... you can guess if they are real or not :D

Im VERY happy with them, I think the bronze goes really well with the red.

When I save up some more dosh I'll be going for the TE37 CUP, Looks the same but more DISH! :D

15x6.5 Racing Sparco wheels by Crimson Inc., Japan.

Offset is 35 and they weigh 400gm more than the stock NA6 rims. Both measurements with tyres fitted.

Image

Crimson Inc. seems to be part of the Enkei group as technical questions are answered by an nice person from Enkei. http://www.crimson-inc.co.jp/sparco/ns3_1.html
And no, the car had not just been washed - not allowed at the moment. Go the dry wash final detailer stuff!
