If you do the ReSpeed big brake upgrade, front and rear, you can have a very wide choice of 5X114.3 wheels. total cost could even be less than having custom rims made.



I'll be running 15X9 and 15X10 SSRs on my widebody once I gather up the rest of the parts for the brake upgraade.

Looks like you have the same kit as me. I'm going with CCW's just like Luiml73 had, he went for the classics but i'm going for the one piece rims. I'm running 17x10's up front and going to go with 17x12's out back. I have the respeed big brake kit up front and im going to use the grannies 8.8" kit out back. Heres a couple pictures of the fronts.
