Talking Fresh Wheels Galore

i'm not the one that really post pictures of their car, but thought i'd share you guys some pictures of the fresh kicks i've acquired over these past years. i've gone through roughly 20 sets, which i've sold and now have 6 sets. could've swapped out a cosmo or FD ior 5.0 v8 nstead of spending money on some kicks, but i figured that my original 13b is still running strong and is lightly modded; so it's good enough for now.

anywho, here they are. hope you enjoy

























ones not in the pictures are
- 14x7 AR centerlines
- 14" SE wheels
- SSR full reverse meshies
- Super advans in 16x7 and 16x8 sizes
but for reference:




all my wheels are only staggered by the way with the exception of the Work Ewing Fins.

maybe i'll be selling some of my rims since i'm losing storage space in the future..?

-Ray

yeah i think so too. but it was just an experiment and the car's going in to be fully prepped for paint and body soon.

the vents do however help reduce under hood temps.

i'll tell the body shop to smoothen the edges out out a bit more and i'll be using finer grade screen wires.

its kinda sad when you realize you have a whole warehouse devoted to only the rims that fit your car...I hope no one has that many...although it would be cool...never use the same rims 2 days in a row for 10 years...haha

If your refering to the shop in the background...that is the Takumi Project. They are a buisness that sells wheels...that isnt Ray's warehouse, as much as he might like it to be his warehouse.

sure. i'll do that during the weekends. and i never liked the idea of using wheel adapters or spacers, unless it's by H&R/eibach or other trusted company. spacers and adapters get expensive though..

do you have pictures of you sbc FB? let's see 'em too

Dude, in about 90% of your pictures, your driver's door isn't closed all the way.

That's all. BTW, what's a kick? I'm over 30, so help me out here...

"Kicks" are shoes. So he refers to "kicks" as wheels. Carl
