I know one of the workers at Velox, those wheels are primarily for FWDs (actually most of their wheels are for FWDs). He gave me the specs:

Wheel size : 18x7.5"
Wheel weight : 25.5 Lbs

Available offsets (backspacing) :
+40mm (5.82")

Available lug-patterns :
4x100mm 4x108mm (4x4.25") 4x114.3mm (4x4.50")

It'll fit your S13 if you have the 4 lug on it (not the 5-lug conversion) but the offset might be a little off.

Yeah seems like the only wheels worth looking into for the "right look" are the $$ ones... Volks, SSR, Work, Racing Hart, etc.

The Racing Hart CPO line is decent weight... I'm looking into maybe a set of Buddy Club P2's... if they make the offset I want
