Nice rims, wrong tires. WAY too much stretch for my liking. If you cant set the wheel on its face without scratching the hell out of the lip, your balla and got too much stretch. I guess if it had a remote and some air bags you could get that sucka hoppin.

sick rims and the stretch is fine so long as you plan on slamming the car down an inch-inch and a half

If you fellas are familiar with the foresight over fenders then you would know that in the rear this is necessary to run 18 inch wheels without looking sunken. It's a clearance issue in the rear, because of how the fender lip is designed....I guess not, but anyways i wanted to try something different. And of course, to each his own. If you dont like what you see just keep it moving... I absolutely love my 7's.

I had the pleasure of driving this car to the photoshoot and it's definitely one of the most solid cars (not just rx7s) I've ever driven. good power, good suspension and steady(low) running temps.

We parked next to you at Sevenstock last year.. At least I'm fairly confident it was you. We were in the pearl white FC. Best FD at Sevenstock?? Your car is pure perfection!

That's an excellent reason to sell it. Congrats on the 2nd!

reminds me of my car at a point when i had raised it. Lower it an inch and a half, and it will be sex. Do it before you sell it, it will overall change the appearance of the car, you might fall back in love with it to not sell lol

Im going to say you got wheel spacers on? =p

Nice rims, but horrible stretch. I'd love the rims if they were 17" and narrower... and fit in the wells properly.
