Superlites are the shiznit. Good luck finding a set in 4x114.3 though, they fetch a pretty penny.

some advice,
Do not buy ROTA wheels.

speed a little more and get something decent.. ROTAs are notorious for breaking....


yeah because beau yates and josh young went through how many sets of the exact same rim i don't know the number but it must have been lots

wait i think josh young sold his v8 ae86 with the original 2 sets he had

2nd hand Jap brand cat back would be the go IMO.
~$150-400 on ebay, or the forums.

New jap brand Dump. No name front pipe.
Or a combination pipe with good mounts.

nothing wrong with rota wheels if you hit a guttewr at high speed yea they might brakes but only if your a retart that happens i drive on rotas every day and they are great

It doesn't matter what you may or may not hit,NO wheel should fracture like the ones in those pics have.

Alloy wheels should buckle when impacted. not shatter.

There are more than enough examples like the ones above floating around on the web to put doubt in any reasonable person's mind as to the quality of that product.

yeah, thats why i stay away from rota.
feel very uneased by seeing those pictures if i was rollong on them.

they are tempting wheels tho, at such a good price with good design, size & offsets.

nice s13 mate.. i just picked one up a few months ago, same colour as yours but yours sits heaps lower than mine, i must be sitting at stock height.

love the headlights, body looks pretty clean
