I can do all that in two week time line, haha.

S14 is my daily, but it's also going to be my daily for long time and it's something I am going to keep for long time, so why not make it the way I want? in the end, I want a suitable daily driver that's faster then my track car[the S13] and reliable at the same time![LS1 reliability&power] My moto is to have all my cars running and track ready at any given moment at all times, and so far so good.

I think I will have to go 18's once I get the LS1 swap done, but until then, I am just being bored with choices and options I got to play with, because I don't want any more camber then what I currently have and fit as much rubber as possible and still be decent flushed.

Trying to combine form and function at same time. takes patience and lots of headach's.

go a head and shoot me some pics and specs/price once they are ready man.

Here's what I'm currently looking for
Front: 17x9~9.5 +0~15mm
Rear: 18x9.5~10 +15~20mm

why so weak in rear you ask? I don't want more camber! I need traction! haha

I'll have to check with them, I think they have 18x9 +20 right now, PM me your email. I have a pic of the wheels I mentioned (that I think look the best out of his current line) they're mounted on my old GS. Makes me wish I never sold the damn car.
