808,
The number of pieces to a rim is not the concern in fitting them on your machine - the dimensions and clearances are what you need to be concerned with. Take a look at the "General Wheel Info" post at the top of the list. It should offer some insight on these things. Also search some older posts about wheel questions - you'll be an expert before you know it.

Thanks for the reply, i kind of know about wheels
like the offset and stuff, but isn't a 3-piece wheel a neagive offset? so i was just kinda wondering. I'll do a seach now asnd see what i come up with.

With a two or three piece wheel the manufacturer has more options for offset. They can spin the outer rim, then weld the mounting flange wherever they need. They can do very high offsets and very low or negative offsets. They offer more versatility for custom applications because a whole new mold doesn't need to be built like it would for a one piece wheel.

I posted some pics at this site. They are kinda big, so please be patient.

Since these picks I put the STI projection headlamps, Sti grill, and the full kamanari kit.

808,
I spoke to our wheel specialist because I hadn't heard of those two you mentioned. It appears that we don't have access to those - just the Comps, GT1s and GT3s. He didn't have any info available to him on those you mentioned either. Might they be Racing Harts?

sites5- ooo! 
nice. i particulary like the fact that you also changed the brake rotor to a larger size and upgraded the caliper.
i was expecting a huge gap between the rotor and rim but
you did nice work and relaxed my anxioty by using proper
sized rotors. hahaha.
nice job.
