Yeah, I'm planning to ditch the rims once I get enough cash. I'm also thinking about swapping in the ITR 4 wheel disc setup w/CW rims after I get enough cash for the engine swap.

Your car looks super clean... but as you know already, those wheels on your car have gots to GO. Heres my $.02, don't get white wheels. I have body color wheels and boy does it get old fast. I would say, go with a gunmetal/blk wheel or just stay silver, can't go wrong with silver. Are those like 14" wheels on your car? But again, super clean, pretty nice.

The rims I currently have are 15"
I was thinking about gunmetal. Are the JDM 16"s easy to find in that color? Hopefully I can find a junked ITR somewhere in So Cal.

Car looks clean, except the wheels. Like the body kit and the sway bars underneath.

It's the OEM kit. I'm planning on getting the rear section to finish it off in the future.

The sway tie combo is by suspension techniques. I got it for $275. It's much cheaper than comptechs and it does the same thing. Comes w/adjustable endlinks and adjustable tie bar.

Nice!!!!!! The rims arent that bad, and unless you just want to go show, 15" wheels are prbably the best performance size. Keep up the good work!!!!

Thanks for all the comments guys!

I don't mind the wheels too much right now since I really don't show the car. I usually run it in the canyons and I plan to Auto-x and road race at the tracks out here. I like the size though since they are 7" wide. She ahs a really good feel on he road.

I may have seen your car a few times around San Bernardino. Always at the Waterman exit off of the 10fwy.

Anyways, i've got 98 spec ITR rims for sale. $1000


Also, where and how much was your factory kit (chin spoiler and painted side skirts)?

Ah, I work in SB, near CSUSB. What does your car look like?

I got my factory kit used, the front chin and grille came off a Si and I had it repainted, same with the skirts. I'd buy your rims but I need to find a 5 lug swap first.

I've seen a few in the area. Maybe we should organize a emet up in the IE sometime.

Actually, the paint job on the chin spoiler, grill and the fog covers was shitty. It has small chips all the way down to the primer from rocks. The shop did a horrible job in repainting them. Ah well..I guess you get what you pay for...I had it dome for $75. The skirts are holing up well though, not a scratch or chip at all. I'm gonna have a the front parts repainted, but the one shop I went to quoted me $230

I see it now, the sideskirts and oem fog lights made it look like an aftermarket kit.

Oh I forgot, how hard was it to put the sway bars on? I now I had a heck of a time putting on my rear lower strut bar.

It took about 5 hrs to finish the entire sway/tie bar install. The major headache was getting the control arms to line up with the holes so we could get the bolt back through. Other than that, once the main bracket was on it was easy.
