awesome! if you're on a budget, and still seek quality, check out powered by MAX: http://www.gtfactory.jp/cms/page.php?9 - they've got some FC coilovers that run for $1k. I'll be in the same boat with you sooner or later. holler!

 

Thanks for the link Puh.



WELL I FIXED THAT DAMN CRACK . My ocd could not let it slide soooo I got some 2000 grit and wet sanded that bitch down. Applied some touch up paint, added rubbing compound then a heavy layer of 3M Hand Glaze.

It turned out great! Still visible but barely.

Dont stretch Azenis unless youve got money to burn. The whole point of the Azenis tire is grip, flexing the sidewall, will deminish said amount of grip, which would contradict the whold point of getting Falken Azenis tires. If youre going to stretch a Falken tire, get the Ziex 512, softer sidewall (fewer layers of rubber compared to the Azenis), will make it easier to stretch, plus theyre easier to find in just about any size, and are less expensive than the Azenis

 

Thanks man, appreciate the tip.

 

513 xxr 16x8 all around

 

personally i think 513s ruined that very clean fc above me. i have them on my 00 miata. and thats all they should go on, along with ae's and 510's


btw. this thread very well could have possibly just saved me from selling my car. seeing a dropped *** rx7 on a set of decent wheels.. nothing else compares.

 

WoW really I personally think the 513's look good on Jaila's FC.

 

I went with Works a while ago:
17x8 17x9

 

well it all depends on how u gonna make em' look on ur car, ur prolly the first one that didnt like it =p ohh well we all have are own things that we like and dont like....

 

Your set up looks dope.

 

as much as i love equips, unless they are baller sizing and offsets, i dont see the point in getting them..

 

I love drifters.

Just a shot in the dark here bud but maybe I like them because....I dunno...they look good

 

how are you gunna post that and NOT post ure offsetz??
i just think fcs should run 17s or 18s.. hell the truck runs 20s and it makes em look decent

 

I reckon with a color like that, can't go past the trusty old mazdaspeed ms01's. little bit of dish, not over the top, and pure class!!! Or maybe meisters in white with polished lip?

 

The Works look good on your car, nice choice.
It's a good match, another good choice in wheels.
Are you kidding, damn it kills me how some people always find a way to be negative.
Is it mandatory that he post his offsets, if so I knew nothing about it?

 

here's pics of my old wheels 17x8. all around and now tell me if it looks better than wat i have now?













thanks =P

 

no smartass. I was just giving him a hard time. I'd still like to know the offset though


oh and jalia. I like the 17 look better but the wheels aren't wide enough! You can easily fit 9s under your rx. I think I'm going to try and get some r33 gt-r wheels and spacers if needed. That one pic on this thread sold me!

 

Well the 17's do look pretty damn nice, but the 16's look just as good.

Well it is better to be a smartass then be a dumbass, so thank you sir. BTW as you were giving him a hard time, I was giving you a hard time. I guess some people can dish it out, but not take it.

 

well yah it looks ok to me, i was gonna put 17x10 and 17x8.5 FN01rc wheels on my FC but prolly jus keep my 16 and will put the FN01rc on my rx8 =P

 

This has nothing to do with drifting. Its simply buying the proper offsets for a rear wheel drive car. Your car looks nice but the offsets of your equips were better suited for a fwd fitment car. Work Wheels didn't make these aggresive offset wheels just so drifters could run them and say they were baller, they made them for rwd japanese sports cars. If you like them then but an aggresive staggered set would look way nicer imo.

 

Ok here's a thought for everyone since this is beginging to to go in the wrong direction. If you don't like someone's wheel style, brand, offset, size or color just say you don't like it. RCFC not directing this towards you. Then again he was correct in referencing "drifters" to respond to the typical stupid comment made by some drifters used by......... wait for it, oh here you go s14_drift junkE.

 

jalia. Why don't you put your stock rx8 wheels on yor fc? I've always wanted to see what that looks like since I love just about any 5 spoke on an fc.

 

No offense RotorDad but you and quite a few others make a living on this forum knocking aggressive fitment fc's in the several various threads. You clearly don't like the aggressive(drift) fitment and you have no problem voicing your opinion like many other haters in those mentioned threads. So i'll take your idea of not voicing my opinion the way I wan't if I don't like something on someone's car and toss it aside my friend. You do it, they do it and I'm going to do it also. Cheers.

 

Ok man here's where you are very very wrong! Don't put me in any groups, I have never knocked any car or it's owner first off. Secondly you are sorely mistaken where in fact that the agressive stance guys seem to always take a nice looking 7 & knock it for not following your style. My opinions, merely state that stretching a tire beyond what it's designed for is impractical & unsafe. I have no issues with a car being low or even having an agressive stance. Now I don't think having 1/2" of the rim exposed just so someone can say they fit 12" wide wheels is all that great & having the car sit on the ground just is not practical. Your car looks good IMO, my problem & not an opinion is simple. You can not deny that in almost every thread a decent car is bashed because it doesn't have an agressive stance. You can argue all you want, I will not.

 

the offset in the front is +28, rear is +29

It is a street car man....running a super aggresive set-up is only going to yield bad tire wear and money out of my pockets due to replacing a 600.00 set of tires.

BTW enlighten me on a proper offset for a RWD car?
