yeah found the -40 offset thing while reading, i was thinking it would be like -20 at most, have decided agaisnt flipping centers as i like how they sit.
yeah i could fit 7s pretty easy, but i could only find a single 7" a3a on yahoo auctions japan, let alone in christchurch,
and yep i ended up getting a second pair from yahoo japan via ewan at hayatonka, awesome guy to deal with. cost be about the same for the second pair as i paid for the ones from you, so very happy.
will be getting a heftyer dose of slam soon,
imo they suit the car perfectly, much much better than the 17s that were on it
