update to es.

well, after my car kept getting vandalized and needing new rubber, i though that i might try a different approach. some new wheels with 25mm adapter spacer for the rears. 18" tires are much cheaper than 19". its not tsuraichi(sp?) like my trafficstars, but the rears are pretty close to flush. i had too much trouble with being flush, low, and on coilovers.

old wheels:

tough call. trafficstars have the brand appeal but the new wheels (sc's right?) look good and seem to fit better.

yeah, i still have my bazreias sitting in my garage with tires, but this is for my project car.

yeah, it's definitely not trafficstar appeal, but ntl, still looks good IMO. i like.
and yes, they are stock sc wheels. would go for newer 5 spoke chrome gs wheels, but they are expensive, and much harder to come by.

I really, really liked the Riversides, but of all the OE wheels, I think this was a really smart choice.

I'm still patiently waiting to see what you do with the Kranze.

Did you sell the Trafficstars?
