What are the numbers on your gtp's anyway, noc? I think I had it on vid from (the widths/offsets/etc) se2004, but my sound is toast from that portion.
suspension? brakes? spacers? etc?

you were at SE2004? Do you know who was filming the dyno's? I was hoping to get a copy of my run....

I wasn't watching my boost gauge and didn't see how high I went up.

I was only filming Colin's dyno run. Don't recall who the "pro" was that was supposed to do the actual meet vid ........ I think he did release one, but not exactly eye popping stuff since the weather was jacked and the drag and autox stuff was cancelled. :'(

you pulled 230 or so right? red car with gen 3 swap and stock 91 wheels with underage azn girl?

don't recall seeing any weights for the meister s1, but the weight should be lowish, lol.

I'm not 100% sure because I lost the sticker inside the wheels. The fronts are 18 x 7.5 +41 with about a 5 mm spacer. The rears are 18 x 9, but I don't recall the offset, no spacer. Suspension is Tanabe Sustec Pro coilovers, with less than a pinkies' clearance in the front between the wheel and coilover. I put the GTPs on the NA and they would scrub a bit when I hit bumps in the road. http://www.ncturnal.com/94na/misc/navolks.jpg Completely stock suspension. I don't know if that helps you guess the offset or not.

my guess +38 if they just barely tuck on the stock body - tough to tell from a side shot. I'm assuming they're face c for max lip (which is what it looks like) which makes it easier to guess offset since it narrows down the possibilities.

sounds like they need slightly smaller rear tires and should stay on the black one.

Already swapped them back. I had a blowout on the black, so i took all the wheels off the silver one. But ya, I need new wheels for the silver one. I do seem to recall the offset being 38.

he'd still need a spacer to clear his coilovers which is kinda sh**ty if your gonna spend that much on wheels, imo.

i love the meister s1's but i'd opt for the 2 or 3-piece variations of the wheel....then you could get some with a nice lip on them

brian, see if you can squeeze these on your car...should fit with the fender flares you have

Work Meister S1 3-piece Front: 18x9.5J -14 Offset Rear 18x12 -46 Offset

those have been there for like 6 months too since they don't fit ANYTHING ....... maybe a double widebody supra?

I keep thinking of buying them just for decoration or reusing the centers on thinner outers .......... :drool
