Curtis, your car looks great on the front page of the DatsunParts website! Great choice on the Shakotan's I am still loving mine every time I see them.

If you can park it, and not turn around to look at it when you walk away...
...you haven't bought the right car

Re: Rota Shakotan 15x7 +15
I agonized (for no good reason) over wheel and tire selection.
I ended up going with Rota's because they're in my budget. I really wanted a set of Hayashi's but it was just too much money with everything else I've done on the car.
I went with a set of 15x6 +15 offset. The purchased some 195/55/15 BF Goodrich Sport Comp 2 tires.
I'm rather happy with the result. The Sport Comp 2 tires are very sticky and so far pretty quite.



Tires are now so sticky I have to use my left knee against the door to brace myself in the car. I'll be saving up for some sport comp springs.

So the correct versions are on the way? I did leave out my smiley face the first time!
