    Just got some new wheels..



    16x9 borbet type a's, damn near mint with barely used tires (dunlop direzza dz101 205/40-45?-R16). I forget if it's 40 or 45 sidewall. $1400 with tires/flat caps/tool/3mm spacers for the front/hub centric rings. So I am running et 12 in the front and et 15 in the rear.

    I spent about 3 hours grinding the caliper because the 3mm spacer did not clear it...yay.

    I am running GC coilovers 500f/700r with bilstein sports. I cannot go lower due to my 24v swap, took full stainless steel exhaust tubing to the local shop...well they didn't do it like I said so it hangs pretty low. I scrape it nearly everywhere.

              I have always used Dunlop direzza dz101, they have the best wear that I have seen. I've always run real stupid camber and they never wore like crazy on the inside, rather even.

                      As soon as the buddy who sold me the wheels buys a welder with the money I paid for the wheels, it will be fixed, and the e30 will be lower.

                      EDIT: Also the buddy who sold me the wheels also makes mono-wipers.
