i had the same issue you had, 'cept mine was a laser turbo w/ steelies, NO WHEEL COVERS. i just bought a set of 96 gst wheels w/ tires for $150. I think thats a fair amount, but it will depend on how willing the owner is to depart from them...i've seen anywhere from 100-500 on this site and dsmtrader.com...the guy i bought them from said that he saw a set of talon swirlies at a junk yard in NPR....i'll find out which junk yard if you want.

sorry... edited my post... but anywayz... i still think he would prefer the GS-T 5 spokes, just going by what i read... and the 5's look better IMO.... but that's just my opinion, good luck on the find... didnt' eric have a set of OZ rims FS or just GS-T rims for sale?

i've got a set of 2g eclipse swirlies i'd sell for $200. 2 have Z rated tires at ~90%. the other two have tires, but you should replace them. the 3 of the 4 wheels could use a can of paint...i was planning on painting them either black or grey and leaving the polished lip.

well if you are going for looks it depends what kind of looks u want. do you want the fast & furious look with the body kit rims etc. or just the clean stock sleeper look? teddy bears junk yard in npr have a set of 93 talon swirlies. they would look nice. your best bet would probably to get some gst swirlies that come stock on that year gsx. i have some for sale if you want. damn near perfect condition with great tires. pm for more info. thanks

o ya, limo the windows, get a catback, licence plate tinted sheild, lower it with nice set of springs, and get some clear corners and along with the rims your car should look really nice. if thats what you want to spend your money on that is.
