Finally some pics of my SE

I finally dressed up my '85 SE with the new wheels I promised her when I bought her! I hope this works...

Hey, how'd you do that? Awesome!

They are American Racing Vortecs

16"x7.5" with 215/45/ZR16 Toyo Proxe tires. I know, the Z-rated tires are way overkill, but look sweet...

The clear lenses are available at www.rotaryrx7.com They really make the car look newer, imo...

Those rims look crisp. no rubbing with the 215's?

Can you get a closeup of the wheels?

That is exactly what I was planning to do to my car, I already got the clears and I am getting the black paint job soon

I suggest some tint It made my car look much better, 5% rear and 35% drivers and passenger windows

to make the pictures show up liek that you need to use the IMG tags..

example
{img}www.imagehost.com/image.jpg{/IMG}

except use [ & ] instead of { & }

you think Z rated is overkill? My car has W rated tires??

Z rated tires are not overkill at all. The stiffer and stickier the better.

Nice ride - the clear lenses look good. Hurry up and buy them, rx7gslse, so I can see what they look like on a tornado silver SE

Heh, heh...

I knew these would turn a few heads, but geez! Sorry, I messed up, the tires are 205s, not 215s. Anything bigger would definitely rub. The tire shop tells me my struts are shot, now I've got to go shopping again...
