I wasn't serious in the first place I didn't know they were that old school I just thought they were unique since noone has them and now I know why.

If you like these, try researching Advan Onis. They are a great looking 3 (split) spoke wheel, but i'm not sure they are made any more. I always wanted a set for my old S13.

I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that Soarer007 had them on his car once.

Those are Limix Linea JZS-161's made by Crimson, Inc. in Japan. As you can probably guess by the name, it was designed for the Aristo (GS)...of course, it will fit on a SC also.

Still being manufactured as far as I know...

18x9 +40 JPY 51,000 each
18x10.5 +46 JPY 53,000 each

As some of you may know, doing extremely stretched tires (East LA style) is very popular in Japan which explains these sizes/offsets. You'd have to probably run a 245 on the 10.5". Not exactly my cup of tea...
