Hey BadBtsz4u,

Did you have problem doing 4 wheel allignment? I could not find place (good) know how to do 4 wheel allignment in Boston.

DO you know any place that will do the correct thing with lower car?

Thanks

The 03s only go up to 18". The Technospeed Z1s are available in 19s. I LOVE 03s on GS's.. probably my wheel of choice for that car.

I am a proud Blitz reseller

I don't have a pic but I have seen these type 3 wheels on a blue GS who eventually sold them to another GS owner. They are now on a black GS with full RMM kit, lowered with H&R springs. They look really good! They are 18". They look really good on the blue as well as the black. Good quality wheel as well. GET "EM!

They copied/pasted the Z1's specs onto the 03s/Z2s/Z3s

Default Blitz 03 Experience

Had 17" 03's on my silver Supra TT. Awesome wheel and will probably buy again for my silver gs4.

Few points to ponder.

- The wheel looks very well suited for Japaneese cars. Esp. the silver. I actually pondered getting the spokes chromed, but never delt with it.

- The 17" gives the image of a 18". the 18's look like 19" Everyone would ask me if my 17's were 18's. IMO, rims like some BBS look smaller than their stated size. My reasoning for getting the 17 was that I never expected to go past a 275 rear and I didn't want to go down to a 35/30 profile tire as traction would suck and I would get too much wheel bounce.

- Wheel care is a bit of an issue. A) it is a reverse wheel (can't remember the exact term) so make sure your wheel shop is careful. B) The lip (nice an fat) has a clearcoat on it (at least mine which were 2+ years old did). So anything other than wax will scratch the inside of the lip. Also those fat lips have some issues in that rocks/etc. occassionally get banged around in their and scratch/nik the inside of the lip. (Think of a dryer).

- If you by chance mess up a rim or two be prepared to wait. I had to wait 3 months for my wheel to come in from Japan since it was an odd lot. Was actually talking with the US wholesaler as Suprastore got tired of my calls.

Good luck.
