    What have you done to your P5 today?

    Installed 2001 Eclipse wheels (made by Enkei and same bolt and bore pattern) and 205/55 tires - and found out the rears I took off were down to the belts on the very inside even though the tread looked fine across the rest of the tire.

    16 Years Later, I got one

    Pulled off the wheels last weekend and looked at all the necessary bolts and nuts that need to be removed for a spring upgrade - no rust anywhere! Relieved!
