Lots of cool wheels. Seems like 18's are not as common due to bolt pattern and I'm not a fan of multi-fit wheels. I'm thinking of going with R113 machined face on my BRG JCW after looking at all of these pictures.

When you make the next post, click the little mountain pic at the top. Then insert the address for where you have the pic hosted. (Like your flickr, photobucket, website or similar.) You can also upload them into your gallery and link from there.

Does that help at all?

We look forward to seeing your pics soon!

"Go Zigen" Go is how you pronounce the number "5" in Japanese.
I'm not sure, but I think it is a play on the words Go (five) and "Jigen" (dimention). "Ji" and "Zi" in Japan sound very simular. Gozigen may be the commercial choice of the company to say, "fifth dimention" or "five dimentions."

Thanks for the education! Now I don't have to worry about not sounding hip with the tuner crowd.

Guys, I know for sure what the words "GO" and "Jigen" mean when separated, but I'm making a guess when placed together.
