next thing on the list was wheels. again. I wasn't happy with the sigma turbo rims and wanted something to fill the guards up a bit more. also wanted the handling to step up a notch as going to tuning days at Barbagallo raceway was fun. so I trolled through the Yahoo Japan and found these beauties. 15x7 +0. I new they wouldn't fit that well but new that I could make them work eventually.

mmm, very nice. but I couldn't bring myself to spending more money on the Datto after buying these and waiting 4 months for them to arrive. so the wheels sat a round for a few years but always wishing in the back of my mind that I could fit them.

fitment was not good as I knew... guards would have to be re worked. which was kind of OK as they were not fixed properly rust wise in the first re build and rust was starting to show through after 4-5 years of daily driving. but motivation was missing and had other things happening so the Datto took a back seat. as cars usually do.
also, notice the rust bubbling in the doors etc. it was starting to become annoying and wanted a rust free (as much as possible) car. i took it off the road 3 years ago so it wouldn't get wet and rust more before any decision was made to re build/de-rust her.
