    Exel's are out of the question. I have heard only bad things about Exel, with them bending easily from numerous people and sources. Choices are on Page 2.

    Damn this is hard!

    Well... Ordered them a couple days ago through wheelsnext.com. They said it would be 8 days because they didn't have any in their warehouse. Got an email telling me to call them. I call them and they said the Or52 is out of stock even at Enkei and they would have to make it. I would have to wait til June.... =(

    So anyways.... A friend of mine out here has a pimped out 1st gen. He is going to sell his rims which are Velox since he ordered a new set that are coming shortly... I have seen them in person and they are sick. Very $$$ rim too. We shall see what happens.

    Damnit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I called up a site that sells them just to make sure they would fit. But the salesman said the spokes would not clear the caliper on my car. They are a +42 offset. Usually a 17x7 wheel has an offset of +35mm to a +40mm.

    SpacerS!?!?!?!?

    theya re coming off a 1st gen Neon by the way. Same bolt pattern of course. He must be running the regular R/T brakes even though he has a SRT motor in there.
