For $2K i'd look for lighweight jap rims in 17 or 18 inches. IF your dead keen on buying this style then look around as they are very common and go for pretty cheap second hand. Otherwise track down some equips if you can find them that is.
Yeah, Josh they are the wide pack. There is some minor damage, being small nick to rear lip and 50mm scrap on front lip. Both hardly noticeable unless you look for them. I really like the 5 spoke rims too. The only reason i don't need these anymore is because i bought a set of 19" GT-C, also with mercury (grey) centres. The tyres have done about 1000Km before i took the car off the road to make a few changes.
Remember, at the end of the day you have to be happy with your car. It doesn't matter what other people think.

YES wide pack.. that dish aint free you know !
The 19s have a different dish on them compared to the 18s... its a smoother edge on it. Also the 18s seem to have more dish (and the straighter edge) on the front wheels as opposed to the 19s
They suit the soarer well i reckon PLUS They were they came in WHITE so i was stoked. YOu can also get these in BLACK which looks fkn sexy !
Those AXIS rims are pretty sweet also, my mate has those on his R32 GTR (19s) There is a pic floating around on this site with a GOLD soarer with those AXIS rims on it.

Mine are a 18" fat pack in shadow - for the price I dont think you can go wrong, the thing with rims is that with so many options and sooooo many opinions you can easily get confused and drive away with something you didnt want. I spotted these years ago on a skyline and loved them - next day bought a set, but you must get springs to suit otherwise they just look out of place. Also make sure your camber is spot on, replacing 265's is a horribly expensive job.

I do like them Axis mags. it'd be a toss up between them and the impul mags. the impul are very clean but yeah a little common, the axis are different but very good looking. i'd get them but i just don't know if the dark wheels would suit my car.

No damage. just need some polish as they've been sitting a little while. chasing $1000 neg. picture in profile.

PS, not having a personal go at anyone with the starcorps, I remember seeing heaps of soarers looking pimp with them when they first came out. The staggered set really suits our cars.
Just lately, every wog and his dog seems to have them on his her commodore/skyline/silvia etc. Kind of like having Volk GTC's these days.
