Specs? So - you are not going to lower your car? Those wheels - in just looking at the dish will not fit under a non-flared 510........Nice wheels though.
Finished is better than perfect......

i'm sticking to stock for now.... the car isn't running right now to test out the suspension with the Drag wheels so i guess i'll deal with the suspension later till i get the car up and going,since i'm doing a cheap Toyota 22r swap.

Lots of options on that link, still doesn't say which ones you've bought? Stock is one thing, but if it's not going to stay stock (and any sort of rim with less than OE 80-profile rubber will look funny hanging out in big, empty wheel wells) then you're not really doing yourself favors buying wheels you won't be able to use.
Because when you spend a silly amount of money on a silly, trivial thing that will help you not one jot, you are demonstrating that you have a soul and a heart and that you are the sort of person who has no time for Which? magazine. – Jeremy Clarkson

.
That's not what I meant when I said, "if you want the cheapest option: DON'T lower your 510" .... :lol:

you just went from a $99 wheel to a $550 wheel that then you need to ship over from Japan .... I've done that: ~$450 for 2 wheels

So now you have $2800 worth of wheels ,,, ,, oh you want tires now??? .... .. and flares?



A stock non flared 4dr 510 with a non-running L16 is worth more than a flared 4dr with a running 22re swap

.... . and the wheels without tires are worth more than both combined,,, ,, WAY to go backwards ... :evil:
