IMO these look better then the AJR's
I'm not going to get rid of the AJR's anyway, prob get em fixed and put them on the wagon.
the 265's scrub like ur old EL did.
but i'm working on the guards to fix that ;)

Those are horn! That's an awesome buy there... Is it just the photography or do the faces seem to come out in a convex manner?

Well they're awesome anyway, it's funny where you can source rims from, such as in my case (off an RX7)

They don't look too bad at all, except the centre cap, should look alot better after you sort them out.

What are you gonna do with your AJR's?

turbo blade's don't have centre caps.
NA Fairlane rims do :)
just gotta measure the diametre required.

they're AU offset rims, but i had adapters from the AJR's anyway.

My turbo blades have centre caps though? (Well, they're small-ish, not quite up to NA Fairlane spec). I use them on my front rims because the other ones kept on popping off.

yeah, different type of centre cap.
These wheels are meant to have a cap that covers the wheel nuts.
thats why i'm lookin at NA fairlane etc.
