Pics of my new wheels

I got some new wheels and tires! You might recognize them, they used to belong to Rxmfn7. Good guy IMO.

Took some half-*** pictures in my driveway. My regular shooting spot is muddy due to the rain last night.






Enjoy!

I like the guage like that. I had some *** hole do 1300 dollars damage to my vert to get a boost and temp guage. I might put all my guages out of the car

Its a fuel pressure gauge. In order to be good and accurate it must be hooked up to a fuel line. I don't want fuel lines in my car.

So anyways, they are Enkei RPM2. 17x8 and 17x9. Wrapped in 235/40/17 and 255/40/17.

Scott did a good job setting that FP gauge up..I wanna mock that setup but I don't think I want to have sitting outside of the hood..probably inside the engine bay area.

Wheels are lookin' good brah! Although, I can't wait to see the 14" gold daytons when you take her auto-x'ing

paint your calipers and get rotors that aren't slotted . . they're proven to crack and shatter regardless of type, go with slotted, other that that comment, THOSE RIMS ARE SWEET perfect color, offset and size, i'm mucho jelous, my 16 x 7s are pissing me off (i love my rim design, but too small and bad offest)

I actually hand polished my hubs and calipers and clear coated them. **** painting them. And my drilled rotors haven't cracked yet, so they are staying on.

This is why I love RX-7club. I post pics of my wheels for your enjoyment, and I get 30 comments about how my FP gauge is ricey and what else I need to do to make my car better.
