Very nice looking IMO. You like me have a lot of wheel gap, especially in the rear. Any plans to lower the car? Great looking car good choice on rims.

Yes, in fact, yesterday arrived from U.S.A the springs and the shocks for the RX7.
I will upload some pics when all the parts get installed.

Rims and wheels are the same thing? I think you mean rims and tires, or wheels and tires. Looks good. I want your fenders

Yes! i mean RIMS & TIRES, my mistake!!! LOL

The SSR RS-8 (watanabe`s) are great! I live in Peru, so the JDM market of used parts was big like ten years ago. I find the wheels in a used wheels store here in Peru. I also find some Mugen MR5, but i think those wheels are strictly for Honda`s.

The tires are semislicks.
