I guess 275mm is 10 inch rims and 315mm is 12 inch rims - same as the AIR kit.

I wonder where I get 12x18 turbo twists?

Its all in the angle of the picture. To really notice, you have to look at the fill up lid.

In that picture, you can see how wide the 12" rims look. Its odd looking compared to stock.

You can buy similar lamps at AutoZone for like $20 apiece and they have a blue ring around the highbeam

Thanks Neo! Yes the one set, the larger pair, are from autozone! They are 4" and the other pair are from Europa (?) and a 3". The LED signals are from some dude on ebay. Its all custom except for the buckets and clear headlight covers which are from gt-racing via lindseyracing.com (as most of my stuff is...I love lindseyracing).

I just couldnt use the square headlights that come with the kit...no good for me.

the clear headlight covers are 944 not 951 size right? why doesnt anyone make a 951 size? or am I wrong here?

if they are 944 size then they still seem to look ok.

They only make the clear covers for 944T. They would be diffeent than the NA covers if they did make both though.
