You know....
I help my brother with his 84 rx-7. He realy likes the car but I do not like the body of the 1gen and not too crazy about the second. I own a 91 mr2 turbo.
I have to say that Jose's Mazda is one of the nicest examples of this car that I have even seen. I would drive that car. I don't know about the wheels though. I might stick with 16's. But even with those wheels he has made it so it does not look like he is going off road.
VERY GOOD WORK.

The first link is really not all that great. Makes me want to gag, Jose's on the other hand looks pretty decent for such a large rim size.

I myself would stick with a range from 15-17. And 17 for me is pushing it, these cars just don't look right with such a large piece of metal under the fenders.
