like my new wheels?????

well they're not exactly new, but new to me!!

They came off my dads new 240z. They came with the car and my dad wanted to put the originals back on, so I figured I'd try them on my car.

their 15x7 Weds wheels(no longer made[I think?])
with 215/60/zr15 dunlop sp sport D40 M2 's (also no longer made) but their good!

here's a pic

to answer your first question, NO. and sometimes it just doesn't matter when things are free. usually when somethings free theres a good reason behind, and you my friend are the perfect example of why. but hey,if they're your thing and you like em. good for you.

the reason they were free is because they were on my dads car. He replaced them with original 240z wheels, so i took em.

and what does "and you are the perfect example of why" mean. I just can't figure it out ?????

I personally like them. I think it's a really nice and unique and CLEAN look. Not too glammy. As for free? That stuff always rocks, I got my rims for $20Cdn a piece, close enough to free, and they have a real old school charm to them, which in my opinion suits the FC like nothing else. I gotta post pics sometime I guess.

Not my taste, but I like old school muscle car rims that look like they're going to eat something or at least rip it up, and I hate rice rims, so eh.
