posted this is the wheel tech sec. but no info...so. ive been running my stockers for a while now since ive been dd'ing my s13.blew a sidewall while having fun, i needed to get some new tires anyway so i found these, little 17x7 and whoa crappy +40 offset. but i was in need and they dont look too bad and the tires were almost new. paid 300 for the set.the guy said super 5's, sounds familiar but i havent found any info. anyone know who makes these? i guess i dont care too much but i am kinda curious. any ideas would be sweet

I would hit up the junk yard or craiglist to see if they have some stocks before putting 300 bucks on those, but if you really need them and just to have something to roll on, I guess they will do...

i have sets of both actually.i just wanted somthing other than steelies to use for awhile. i have plans for a 5lug swap/sr swap in summer somtime during a vacation from work. so i wasnt going to put out any real money on wheels untill then BUT i wanted some better/new tires and i found these.so i picked them up. sucky offset but not too shabby for the money cause the tires are close enough to new.maybe ill just spray them hot pink for laughs.
