What ever happened to Paul Yaw? I check his webpage every now and then, and it hasn't changed a bit. I hope he's well.

zelig and zoom zoom know mine. I also like the SSR Comp, Anthracite. They weigh about 17 pounds and look the best with yellow as far as I can tell. Christmas time will be fun here as I have started a fund to make sure I get at least four presents under the tree.

We spent ages looking for something a bit different that would satisfy :

a) matching the titanium grey
b) not have thin spokes (wife's request)
c) not have thick spokes (wife's request #2)

In the end we went for these, (the wife actually spotted them) I think they are Italian made, but sold through a UK distributer - ManiaRacing. They do them in chrome finish also, and in 20" - not everyones cup of tea - but we like

From website. Price less than $600 and big discount on group buy. Something to think about.18" size only.

I love the CCW mesh wheels. I would only get them if I had a 4th gen. Supra, or possibly an FD.

I purchased AXIS Super Mesh - hyper silver rims with machined lip today (18 X 8) for my Goodyear F1's - 245X40X18's. I first saw these rims on the SR Motorsports project car, which took me a while to identify. I will post pics once installed - I am pumped
