    Suspension done, now time to look for wheels, suggestions?

    My 86T will be painted black pretty soon, and I'm looking specifically for black mesh or multi spoke wheels. I know you guys all have good suggestions for wheels, but right now my goal is to keep it less than $170 a piece, or $680 a set. My target is 18" staggered setup, and here are my finds so far, unfortunately I can't find the weight on these wheels except the ADR because Z-Karma just bought them:

    RPM R-505: 18x8.5 +20 18x9.5 +20


    ADR M-Classic: 18x8.5 +20 18x9.5 +25


    Stern ST-8: 18x8.5 +20 18x9.5 +25

    I really like those sterns!

    I would go with a lower offset though.

    FYI 18x9 +0 is completely flush on the 87-89 body style. So 18x8.5 + 20 will sit in 28mm. Add in a 1" spacer and you will be golden!

    +1 for the Sterns

    now if you found a set of Stern Aguzze S07Rs I'd hate you.

    I can tel ya i just about nutted myself when i put my ADR wheels/General UHP tires on last night.
    With the ST springs tucking them just beneath the lip of the fenders, they look oh so sweet.
    Many pics to come soon if it doesn't rain this weekend. The tires look great, the rest of the car
    is covered by a protective layer of dust and cat hair. 8)

    The RPMs look nice. Personally i like the shiny hex bolts around the lip. yeah they are fake on the ADRs.
    The spacing of them on the Sterns looks like they put too many on there.
