Your paint job is pretty terrible too, but I suppose it matches the wheels.


Why can't you put a different set of wheels on? Anything over 16" with stock brakes just looks silly.

looking into finding a good deal since these tires were 300 dollars a piece and they are near new so i want to find somone who wants to trade. these are universals so it wont be hard hopefully. and they paint job was having fun mix and matching, its gonna get repainted so get your panties out of a bunch... but yea 16 is what i am looking for with some decent tread on em, btw the orange fc vert look like somone took a chain saw to it.... and buggy one would be awesome for some dunes...

at least the monster truck/4x4 one took thought and engineering of some sort to look like ***... But all are epic fail IMHO. I'd rather have a stripped out roller on jackstands in my garage than any of the ones pictured.

Wow, that orange thing is fantastic. Was that an attempt to turn an FC into a Lamborghini Jalpa replica? It's pretty ingenious. The stick-on fake Buick Ventiports are a nice touch.

Unnecessary... Funny though. You remind me of that guy from Waiting.

Going to have to respectfully disagree with you there. I really like my lowered FC with the 17s. 16s are too much like the 15s.

I can appreciate it. I think they are too big, but 2" less and it might look okay. Though it would make it useless for transportation or anything other than a car show.




1) Minorities have nothing to do with it. I see retarded **** on "whites" cars too. Don't spread hate.
2) And, everyone has to live somewhere. If it were not for my wife, I would spend all the money on my toys.

Whatever floats your boat.
The bigger the better, thats what she said right?

There have been a few known rx7s that have went with 19s. One was for demo purpose and i dont think it was driven on them. There was one guy who had work vs-xx in 19s but I dont think he posts here. The wheels themselves where beautiful but just a lil too big. If you dont mind driving on rubberbands.

Modern cars though can take big wheels. 18s look kinda small on 370z lol

lol the 22s were never meant to be mounted on my car but merely a test of how big you can really go, regardless of taste, i was looking for an answer to that question so instead of looking i figured id start big and work my way down. some of you don't know how to appreciate other peoples styles and continue to live in your bubble like we don't exist but your also the ones who cant take criticism.

i love a clean fc just like the next guy but im not gonna shoot someoneles's dream down just because its not mine.

no no no, you've got it all wrong. the rims are supposed to make the car look good

look, the bottom line ought to be if you know this is going to be a step down in performance and safety then it probably shouldn't be in the technical section.

as for myself, I get more out of my '7 by driving it as opposed to looking at it.

There is no fault in expressing opinions, especially when it comes to aesthetics. What people who do extreme things have to realize is if you go to an extreme you are going to hear about it from the moderate majority. If you make your sports car perform worse and be less safe you are going to hear about it.

If my neighbor tells me his dream is to repaint his house hot pink and lime green with real gold trim...you better believe I'm going to express my concerns over my bubble and his style.

Hell come to think of it, simply parking those horrendous ghetto rides outside a home will drop the property value!!

Although I personally agree that RX-7s are meant more for driving than looking cool, I disagree with the above statement. I fully support the rights of forum members who favor making extreme aesthetic modifications to their cars, even if I'd never do it myself. And even if looking at the pictures sometimes makes me shake my head in disbelief. To each his own. If you have a technical question about fitment of 22" Dayton wire wheels, it belongs in the technical section.

daytons belong on suvs maybe not a rx7 but i say if you like it then its just the way u want it. i mean would u pay 10k on a car that has some things u like or spend 10k getting the cheap car to be exactly what u want, imo i would spend the 10k making it the way i want it rather than somones elses vision
