Yeah, those were reproduction Nebula's on my wagon. Traded them last year for a set of Volans plastidipped black.

Here's a less-than-impressive cellphone shot while getting new exhaust installed.

18x8, if I remember correctly. Tires rubbed up front, not sure of size anymore. I still see the current owner of the wheels from time to time, I could doublecheck measurements if you like.

Doesn't look dirty from the picture. Just wondering which cab company you purchased it from. JK

Looks like someone really did some upgrades to it.

New wheels so i don't damage my Volans any more... found a dent/flat spot in one so i want new wheels that i won't feel too bad about



Just poking a little with a 225/45...will be running a 215 and hopefully a little camber/guard work will fix this issue...



Plenty of caliper clearance for impending Brembo's



what can i say...i have a heart for these wheels... :P



I just need it this low all the time now :P
and the rear will house a 225 easily...with a guard lip...



For anyone interested, specs are 17x7.5 +30 offset 225/45 all round (will be turfing them and going to my current 215's) Rays GramLight alloy wheels, being drilled from 5x114.3 to 5x108

Did the stock lug bolts fit in the wheels? because one time I found a set of Enkei OR52's being sold in craigslist but when I tried them on the stock lug bolts wouldnt go in the wheels...

Yeah, the stock lugs seem to work...i won't know 100% till i get the wheels back from the PCD change but, they all seem to be pretty swell...

just waiting for some more spending money then i'll go pick the wheels up, fit the new tyres to them and set about refurbing my Volan's...
