German engineering, pretty crazy stuff. You don't have to worry about potholes or curbing. Great for those who love to daily slammed with low pros on wicked camber and drive the hell outta their car.

an example of what they look like on a non-euro.

Really awesome wheels, but they don't belong on imports like that 240 IMO. They look too awkward. :\

many Euro wheels take some time getting used to lol.
these days I'm in love with the Rial Daytona Race (German made), which is available through Tirerack and others.

those are fire HK... only because they actually did the separation of the lip and spoke in a nice way like the older made 2 and 3 pc wheels... i cant stand how some companies do it now were theres no separation... cough cough axis just to toss up a name! work vs-xx are an example of that even though they are fkn sweet looking to some extent ..i prefer that separation like above and in older bbs, racing hart type s3, racing beats, chevlon racing... just to name a few... HK i know u know the older ones im probably talking about...

and fkn of course all 114.3 ....FK!

word. thats why i like Work Meister S1 (3 piece) so much lol

i wish we had 5x114.3 not just for aftermarket wheels, but all the OEM toyota/lexus wheel options out there.
I'd rock some stock Lexus SC430 (18x8.5) or mk4 Supra turbo wheels (17x8, 17x9.5)

my friend just put some 17x9 Nissan Skyline wheels on his 240SX.
i put stock RX8 wheels (which are bigger, wider, and stick out further than stock) on my wife's mazda3.
