    Default New rims on tha fc

    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!

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.
