haha good looking out! believe it or not but some guy stole my lug nut. i was walking to my car one day after i got out of class and i saw the guy taking off my lug nuts. i ran after him but he jumped into a honda accord and sped off. luckily for me he stole only 1, which i replaced a couple days later.

The CR Kais look SO much better with a lower offset & some width (though that goes for any wheel).

not my Z-- I'd have gone wider.

They look bigger then that. I think they might be 18's. RPF1's look smaller then they are sometimes the 17's look like 16's because of the lip.
