If you are on r3v you may remember this car. The previous owner did a bunch of mods but never finished the project and the car didn't run well when he sold it back in '09. After little work and sitting for 3 years the car was again put up for sale. My GF bought the car in January of this year. It ran rough at idle, stalled out, fell on its face under hard acceleration ect. She got it anyway having another car as a daily it would be her(my) project.

Had horrible positive camber so got some new top mounts.
Also had a broken spring so she got racelands for the time being instead of getting new lowering springs for the same price.
She was searching for new wheels and fell in love with the BBS e50's. but they're too hard to find and pricey. so i showed her some other mesh options.
We found these.
