rexfuge, they are 16x7 MB Motoring "Mesh" wheels. They look pretty good and are under $400 for a set of 4. I kind of regret it now because i want rota's lol but they still look nice

Did you repaint it?
Looks good...reminds me of when it was the only other RA I'd eve seen in person...lol
And obviously makes me miss my RA too...

I always wonder where it ended up, and if it's gonna pop back up somewhere on here again

Plastidiped. Ha, yeah, just about the only way to keep that lip on there.

Thanks. Should be rather protective as well. Undercoated the chassis last weekend for rust. With ~240k on her, very clean body and substructure. RRM Magnaflow axle-back...not so much.

Looks good smike I've seen that dip color popping in around here as well. I've thought about the satin white but who knows how good or long it will last. I wouldn't count on it "peeling right off " as they say it does.

Thanks. Brother painted his Lancer GTS white for this winter. It doesn't peel off if you do it right.

Yeah, They didn't stay white for very long unfortunately and they are really difficult to scrub clean. After cleaning the spokes are white but the outer surface only comes out grey...
