just buy some brand new ones... mounted and balanced 14's should only be $100 a pair for 205's... that set for $65 is going to cost you another $10 a piece for mounting and balancing give or take, unless those are 95+% tread offer them like $40-50

They do.

Konig makes some really great lookin wheels.

Heliums for instance and the 3 spoke whatevers that look like advans or harts......


Like your car man. What is it with 15 year old kids with rx7's?

Do not drive like a tard.

Worry about basic maint and practical upgrades for right now. LEARN YOUR MOTOR INSIDE AND OUT. Read the factory service manual, buy a haynes and chilton, buy your OWN TOOLS and a DAMN GOOD SET of tools to work on it. Read as much as you can on this forum.

I wouldn't worry too much about making alot of power. Seriously. I've dumped alot of time and cash into my car and i dont plan on going forced induction any time soon. Personally, i'd rather have it look good, handle good and run good above all. At this time i could care less about more power, especially since it's my dd and rotary mileage is worse than a 4.6L v8 suv a wot.

You've got a great starter. I wouldn't worry about a 5 lug conversion just yet. Start saving money. Do your basic maint and then worry about upgrades when you have a good 'nest egg'.

Dont be a tard like every other 15 year old with a "tuner car" that thinks they have to be the baddest kid on the block blowing money on bs and then crying when their car doesn't run or start anymore..... I've seen it happen ALOT. Dont be that guy.

talking about not starting anymore,my car wouldnt start yesterday so i pulled the plugs...talk about over flooded.I let them set out for a while and the car started right up.My brother took it out for a spin and came back and it idled at 1.5k,down from 2k,and it didnt sound like the tps was bad until the revs dropped to 1k and started bouncing from 8-9k to 1.1-1.2k,but still it has made a improvement.Now it just needs to be drived

well rewinds arent that old but those are an older pair seeing that id doesn't have alot of lip and the ones on the market now do. and konigs are legit, they may not be the best but better than some generic brand from les right?
