          That doesn't make it right for your car... who cares what they cost if they're the wrong fitment? In any case nice car - I'm always happy to see an E30 brought back from the brink.

                        17x7 TRD Pro Race 1 ET20, can't remember tire size but something that kept things identical to stock diameter.
