Pic's not coming through there J. Could you post it directly to the site here?

Not sure what's up with Enkei's site but any time someone recommends one ofo their wheels it's not on there. Mmmgh.

Old school Riken Mesh wheels black center with a polished lip. I think mesh wheels are the only wheels for 1st gen. RX-7s.

Yes. As I recall he has a rather scary car.

My vote goes to SSR Formula Mesh. All the other mesh wheels are nice too, but its kind of cool to have new wheels sometimes.

Son, that's not just an intercooler... that's ONE HELL of an intercooler!

DF's pushin' like 300+hp to the rear wheels IIRC. He totally pwned a 350z in a vid he posted here.

I practically worship his car! It looks almost totally stock, but it can kick ROYAL BUTT!

Nah, just a big oil cooler.
Don't mind the Roll bar either, it's just for... looks.

Most recent Dyno, still with the Holley, still pig rich.
385 rwhp and 333rwtq at 15 PSI.

More power and and torque, at less boost, on a MUCH hotter
day = better tune.

Haltech coming back in soon - finishing the Ford 8.8 rear soon.

Aren't Riken one of the generic versions on my Enkei 92? For a while I thought I HAD Riken, because one of my centercaps says Riken on it. The inside of my rims say Enkei, though, so I'll trust them.
