New rims on tha fc

[antj101]

I just bought some 17" Drag Dr33's for my Fc. It looks a little goofy cause I need to lower it. If anyone knows of some lowering springs for an 89' rx-7 gxl, just let me know. Thanks for your interest and your help!

[kain]

[RedGTS]

[eraser4g63]

Should have lowered it first.

[qt95camry]

I have, those are pretty expensive. I'm looking for some kind of hook-up. I'm not cheap, just working with a limited budget.

Yeah, but these are a little lighter. It'll look better when I lower it.

Ill call you if I get time to come. I agree on slammin it!

[HillClimbGuy]

face plam, just a little advice next time search the for sale section first you may of gotten some nicer wheels. in my opinon the black wheels on a gold cars is not a good match nor would i do bronze either.

are they 6 or 7 in wide?

[CHRISNITTOLO]

At least he's not rolling on stockers like I am... I have it on lowering springs and a CF hood and still rolling on my stockers... Looks :gay:

[hybrid90accord]

PLEASE! dont ricer slam your car, just get some nice spring/strut combo or coilovers and do it right.

Sheeet. Nothing wrong with dropping the shit out of an FC. My '87 model below; back in 1997. Later, QD.

i dont care what no one says anything is better than stock.. if you would have lowered it on stock, you would have had people telling you to put wheels on it. Shit takes time.. parts aint cheap!

There are many things that we do to car's that's useless lol, but in my opinion it looks good

Yeah dude, I just found a good deal and jumped on it, all four rims were $222.00 they are clean as hell. I really do need to drop it though!

i do agree u need a drop..lol but it takes time. not everybody can spend money on stuff like that on demand.

Lol, those rims really put me in a bind, but I think it was worth it!:yes: Can't wait until I have the $ to drop it:chuckles:

[5speed]

I think the paint of the car makes it look bad, black rims on that color doesnt look good. If the car was white,red, or blue or something it would look good. People will think a rim is ugly, but sometimes it isnt the rim, it could be something else that makes them look bad on a vehicle.

I'm hopefully getting the windows tinted soon, I really think it'll make a difference!

[5speed]

Maybe, but I am sure its the car color that just doesnt allot the rims to look good. Don't worry about people talking shit bc they are Drag rims. They are perfectly good budget wheels.

Preciate it dude, Ill keep that in mind!

Just get some knockoff springs off of Ebay if the RBs are too much for you.

[antj101]

If I find some and like it then it'll happen!

Dont do that, its ok if you wait. If you do you will appreciate it alot more when you have a better product. If you dont, you will regret it.

Would it really make a big difference?

[Boosted FC]

Would it really make a big difference?

If you have to ask, should you really be modding that car....:thinking:

If you're gonna do it, do it right & be done. An RX7 is a car that you really do not want to cheap out on.

[5speed]

Just take my advice and run with it, talk to someone else on here who has an RX7 also, Im sure they would give you some helpful info

[Mantooth]

Would it really make a big difference?The car doesn't look too bad with those wheels, definitely needs lowered. Just remember, you get what you pay for. Meaning, you cheap out, you generally get a cheap, low quality product. This is the case 99% of the time.:2cents:

Alright dude, your right about the 7, its a rare car and I really shouldn't be cheap with it. Thanks dude!

Yeah, sounds good dude! If you know anyone with an FC, send them my way!

Lol, I know it needs to be lowered! Not only would it look better but it would feel better through turns. Thanks for your two cents!:D

[Boosted FC]

Myself, 2rotor, wanksta, kain & a few others on here have FCs. Go into the Mazda section & ask your questions. Your gonna have a bunch of replies from people who know jack shit about the car in this thread.

dats the troof shawty.

my $0.02 is this...

in the late 80's, the rx7 had one of the most advanced suspension systems on any production car.

think about it.

also... too many people have those vatozone rims on their fc's. i swear.

[badassf4i]

lol. lookin good. i have the same wheels on my third gen but i cant lower it cuz the front have already got the fenders a little bit.

Also don't fuck up a nice FC

The rims aren't that bad, like others said black doesn't look the best but hey it could be a lot worse

Yeah, I have the sports suspension on mine(gxl) When you switch from normal to sports you can really feel a difference. But it also looks like a monster truck with it stock

[eraser4g63]

If you really want good advice get off the forums, 85% of people weather they drive a honda or a mazda dont know a god damn thing about cars. That being said if you are really looking for a decent spring I would look into Tanabe or Racing beat. You will spend more up front but your better for it in the long run. And if you are are going to be lowering the car you need to do your shocks as well. DO IT RIGHT OR DO IT TWICE!

This.

[speedminded]

Where the hell did my post go? There's a Turbo FC, FD, and RX8 in my driveway...somebodies pussy get hurt? It's a 20lb. wheel, 24-27lbs if it was a Motegi, and can be seen in just about every Nopi National photo in the late 90's.

What's wrong with the phonedials? Paint them black and can't even see them anyways. Lighter, stronger, and more money for things that matter and will make the car look and drive better: like springs and shocks.

Leave my GSE Certifications alone, man.

The FC model is the next best one compared to the first gen. I'm going to go with the majority and say I don't like the rims at all. And it doesn't matter where you got them. It doesn't matter if they are real or knock off. I just don't think they look good.

But I'm not driving your car. I'm not buying your rims for you so it doesn't matter what I think. Enjoy yourself because you do have a cool car. Later, QD.

[badassf4i]

thanks man. i had a fc that i put a ls1 in and it was so much fun i sold it and bought this one with a blown up motor cheap and now im hunting for a ls6 to slip in. the fc is def a awsome car though.

[RUFFIAN]

they are nice but I say if you are rocking a RWD car you need some lippage on the rims.
