I couldn't resist...1st mod for the 3000GT

As if being broke as hell could've stopped me. Check this out guys: 18x9 ADR Version II rims with practically brand new tires: $550 cash from a local pick-up off craigslist.org

One small problem. That could be a big problem. The rims are 5-lug universal, BUT there was a very, very slight fitment issue: the bolts appear to be just 0.5 mm off the bolt pattern for some reason, almost as if the 114.3mm on the car were being forced to fit a 115mm. Wierd. They were taken off a BMW 3 series (2001), so I'm not sure if they meant to fit. The bolts bent very slighty as we torqued them on there, and there was so much rust on them that we had to dremmel nearly all the bolts...oh well screw it they look hot. If hub "falls off" on the freeway, it's been nice knowing ya guys.







Paintjob coming soon.

looks nice. Don't tell me the studs "bent" when you torqued them down, you left a word out. I hope that's not what you were going to say...

Well, then let me pioneer this drastic unheard of obtrusion in the world of lug nut perfection, gentlemen. Let me be the first buffoon to have tried to force on 5x112mm rims onto a 5x114.3 hub and gotten away with it (hopefully...gulp)

seriously dude, that's very unsafe. You're talking life/death here, not something to laugh about.
