How many RWD's use 4x100 stud pattern?

If there was a market for 4x100 rwd wheels, people would make them, I just doubt there's a big enough market.

Hey, like I said, I have the option of buying from where there is a larger market. Just a bit annoying that I have to.

Gonna be the SSR knock-off konig bbombs I think, just because my mates and I have started referring to them as "wanganbombs". lol.

Anyone heard of black racing phantoms?

Bought my FXGT and they were on it.

I had never heard of them before.

Only keen on new? For good wheels you often do have to look at bigger markets. All the wheels I want are in Japan :lol:

$1000NZ landed for a set of 4 brand new wheels is kind of hard to beat.
