    No. 1 looks to be Work VS-SS, PIAA Super Rozza or Stern ST1 (a replica of those)
    No. 3 are stock Super VR4 wheels iirc

    not mine. This accident occured way back 2009 i think. I only found it in some of my picture files.

    Anywy the Super parts went to good use. it went on to a Legnum that was turned into a Super Legnum VR4.

    I was playing about the ruined morning, but that is a bad way to see a G go.

    Yeah...here you are, taking care of your 8g, driving carefully and doing all the things a loving owner would do to keep his 8g in great condition...and then WHAMMM!!! Somebody rams you from behind

    Anyway, I don't know what are the exact circumstances when this poor g got totaled (the thread starter said the SVR4 was unsalvageable ) I hope the owner was alright though.

    I want the wing too =)

    I think qcustoms is right. I believe this is an advertisement picture from Mitsubishi:



    Same wheels as the Red Super VR4...

    Awesome ad pic!

    I wonder what color this VR4 is? looks like silver but it could be a darker silver...but it's maybe the lighting

    So these RIMS were made by Mitsubishi? or are they some special Racing wheels.

    Anyway, I've read somewhere that when the VR4 was released, you can get these stadard rims or the optional 3 spoke rims.

    The one that I got had 3 spoked Rims...I wonder if these are the said Optional 3 spoked RIMS or the former owner just tried to copy the look of the special optional 3 spoked RIMS.



    The fenders got dented when he was loaded onto the container =( Anyway, it's going to be mended so no problem there.









    Anyway, please comment on the brake system. Are these old/new? Stock/upgraded?

    Do I need to replace them?

    How off?

    When they loaded him onto the container they removed the wheels. And then put the wheels on again. Would that explain the off rotation?

    Or the previous owners didn't rotate them properly?

    The wheels are on the wrong side of the car. Swap left wheels with right wheels and all is well.

    This is Stock Pre Facelift VR4 Wheels


    this is the BBS Wheel Found from what i can find commonly on the Type S Pre-Facelift VR-4


    hope this clears up..

    note that the PFL came with both a polished face and shadow painted inner aswell found on some st-r and vr4's aswell still found on the NZ new VR(non turbo V6)

    They look like Volk C Ultra's, not sure if they were standard equipment on some trim level or not. One of the wheel guru's may have more info on them, I just googled "3 spoke volk" and that's what came up.

    They were never stock on any Galant, any model, any generation that I've seen.
