Those wheels make it looks ricerific.

You realize stripping the interior only saves you like 50 pounds, right?

I know that's why I said that. No S13 coupe came with a popup sunroof from Nissan. That's why it isn't Nissan glass. I used to hate it before, but now I just don't care about it. It's funny because most people don't even notice it's aftermarket unless I point it out lol.

You should've used the 200 towards the swap. Just my opinion. How much is the guy selling the swap for?

he is selling the swap for 200 but the tires on the steelies were bad and the one on the white rims were at 90% we are getting the swap together he is helping me to swap it in before i pay him so its all good.another reason i bought the wheels to is his wife is building a car and the wheels were hers and she needed some fund for a intercooler. jus trying to help out fellow racers

Eh, he might not. He'll probably be dead...

I suppose if he uses padding in the right spots it'll be fine.
