I'm still curious as to how that will work. Those Rotas come in any other size beside 18x9?
Hey Yuta, what site did you get that from? I cant find a site that has steel grey color for that size/offset...

also, the hub redrilling mod is actually quite simple. you:
remove stock studs.
drill new holes in 5x114.3 pattern on hub.
press in studs.
redrill brake rotors.
people have done this to S13s before 5 lug hubs became widely available.
and i plan on doing this to my soon be EF civic (drill to 4x114.3 to fit corolla fitment wheels) unless i can get zenki DC2 ITR suspension for free.

Ok, I guess I have to update with bad news. I decided not to pick up the wagon. I had many talks with friends who said I could spend the money on something better.
Turns out, they are right. I'm working on a deal for this next car, hopefully all will go well. Not to mention, this is one car I've been admiring for the last 13 or so years.

It was originally mine, thing was, while it was being "worked on" I had second thoughts and started talking to some of my old sponsors. They gave me the same offer from a few years back when I jokingly made a proposal for a Supra.
I figured for 20K, I can pick up a Supra. Which is exactly what I am looking for aggressively right now.
Dont get me wrong, I love that wagon, its just that with that much money, I can get something way better.

i hate supras... imo waste of money only reason to get it is for looks cause performance wise it fails in every catagory and imo i think they are ugly too.
basicly anything a supra can do another car can do it better and cheaper.
handling just about any cheap FR japanese car owns the supra without many mods
power wise im not an american muscle kinda guy but a foxbody mustang with half the money invested in the supra will rape a supra
so only thing left is looks... imo man there are way better cars out there supra owners are tools dont become one...

Being in the Heart of NASCAR country I still don't see many Foxbody's that are faster than Supra's around here. Don't know if they have anything near the same amount of money put into them, but almost every supra around here is faster than most of the Foxbodies.
