this is amazing, i hit a pothole yesterday and my tire went flat come to find out the pothole bent my rim leschwab says its not fixable. i was just about to purchase some racing rims when the guy comes back out and says, the rims don't fit and niether does anything we have in stock exept for these rims that cost 600 bucks a piece. out of ALL the rims they have only one fits and it would have to be shipped and would take 6 weeks. i'm currently on a donut, reason they don't fit is cause the vr4 comes with special brakes with huge calipers, so huge that 90% of all rims don't fit on the vr4. so now i'm looking to see if anyone else repairs them and if not buy the original stock rim from california, and there is not one junkyard around here with vr4 stock rims, i called at least 13 places.

Are they the five spoke chrome 17s? I may have one in storage (the chrome is not in good shape). Let me know if its something you might want.

Lots of rims fit our cars. However it is a small list compaired to other cars. If you want a list there is one on 3si, and most people have found out that tire and wheel shops have some wheels listed as not fitting the car even though they do. This is due to our big brakes, and them not want to worry about returned wheels and unhappy customers.
