ehh, they're ok...Ive seen better but ive seen worse.

I guess it depends on what it would cost you?

Hey, what's up Will? Hows your 8 doing? i need to call you so we can hang out. Drop by and check out the Red FD im working on right now.


ABOUT THE WHEELS: Yeah, I wasnt to shure how they would look at first. I tried them on once before, before lowering the car and they looked good, but now i think they look much better. They are wide too, 18x9.5 and 18x8.5. I like the black with red since it matches the interior and the black trim on the body with the red paint.

I'm getting a good deal on them too so....




HERE"S A CLOSER PIC:

They look smaller on the car for some reason.The black does look good on the red though.

Naw, theyre just some old OZ racing wheels.


They are light for 18 x 9.5 though.

The mesh kinda wheel on that body style looks horrible IMO...If you like the black, just paint your stocker, I like them more then the wheels posted.

I definately hear that. I like the ones that are on there, and they look best in person. I also plan on getting the exact wheels I want down the road. I also really like enkei RPF1 in the deeper offset! :goodjob:

wheels similar to your rx7 in your sig would be intresting to see, i think a nice 18" 5 star doing the staggered look would be nice, I personally like mesh wheels, but i dunno it just doesnt seem to really set the car off that much. Maybe something like the Hp Lightning or Lightning SS i just think you need a bigger lip and a different type of mesh

Not bad.. So all 4 corners are 18x9.5s? What offset is it?

i think the fronts are 8.5 but the rear is 9.5. I dont even know the offset, I just know that they fit with zero rubbing issues.

Not bad, but it looks kind of small.

they are pretty nice. if youre lookin for performance then id prolly sitck with 17teenz and get the lightest rim possible but if ur lookin for looks get staggared wheels. u cant go wrong.
