what do you guys think???

Honestly, I think the largest diameter wheels that should exist anywhere near an FC or any RX-7 for that matter, are 17". Take for example the Kosei K1 TS wheels, they look decent on the FC and each wheel weighs 14.4lbs. Performance and looks all in one without sacrificing reliability and safety.

OMFG to the Monster Truck FC, that's insane.

No it would make sense to pick up a blown VW powered sandrail, throw away the engine and use the adaptor for mounting a carb'd 13B bridgey in it. Then you'd have something to be proud of....

I completely agree. Anyone that ruins an FC or 300ZX by turning it into a sandrail is retarded.

i have 18's on my TII and that is as large as you can possibly go and still remain somewhat tasteful. there is no way around that, if you think you can go bigger and make it look right, you're probably one of the few who thinks so...

Then turn it into a full blown race car or register it as a track car or weekend car. That just seems much better for it than tearing it apart to make a sand rail, or dune buggy. Why is it costing you 500 for a lost title, it shouldn't cost that much.
