Just curious, how was it driving around the bay area with 225/40/18 on those regas? I know 880, 580, and 680 are not pretty at all. I would be too afraid to street on those beautiful sizes.

Anyways it’s very very nice. I’m just contemplating if I should use a set of aged wheels.

I’d searched heavy for some in 18×10.5 but nothing would come up in my needed bolt pattern 5×120.

Such an awesome wheel, gives that Le Mans feel as well. Great work!

Thanks Dave! That’s also awesome that you are the original owner of a ’95 FD!

Well done on all the work to get this in their current condition.

Nature of the game. Big name manufacturers like Advan, Volk, BBS, etc. all use paint on their wheels and they chip as well.

I know someone with BBS LM faces that are painted with automotive grade paint and a TON of clear and he’s already seeing chips here and there within a year of having them done (They were mounted April on 2016)…
