    ask MrJayDeeOne, i think he had a problem w/ the 15" steelies and the dual piston brakes. i know the 16" steelies fit for sure (since my car came w/ those).

    u know what? i just thought about it. i can confirm that the i4 stock 15" steelies fit. i had them on my car after i broke my 18's in a rainy freeway spin out (i hit the center divider backwards after doing a 540). SILLYAZIANS let me borrow his stock 15" steelies for six months until i bought my VOLK's. o yeah i have a '99 ESV6 so i have the dual piston brakes stock.

    yeah, heavy rain going 50mph on blad tires = total retardation; i'm glad i survived. thankfully it was before i went crazy w/ the kit and the wheels and suspension. i was actually riding stock steelies w/ no radio for almost a year after that accident (it cost me $3500 just to make it streetable again) and was considering selling the car... this was like 2004 i think?
