CHILDERS FD3S info

I saw a picture of this RHD FD3S on Motormavens a few months ago and have wondered about it since then. I believe the picture was taken during AllStar Bash "drift event". If anybody has any specs (wheel offset, suspen, motor) on the car or knows the owner it would be greatly appreciated. This car has stuck in my mind and i would like to know more about it. Thanks

rear offset it utter ****. that's just plain ridiculous. I'm all about having wheels fit out to be flush to the body but not an inch OUTSIDE the wheel well. This is just like the people who run 13" Dayton 100 spoke wheels that sit outside the wheel well. It doesn't look good.

i'm sorry but the rims and offsets on this car look hideous. I don't know what the fuss is about, its just a gunmetal rx-7 with shitty rims....those rims look like VIP style rims and don't belong on a sportscar.

I think it looks kind of slick. A little excessive, but slick.

Thanks for the help, I didn't post this to be a suken vs flush vs poke debate. Personally i think that if a car has wheels that are just barely flush that the overall look of the car is compromised. I come from a european car background so take that for what it is.

Aggressive Stance+ Aggressive Wheels = Aggressive Car

By todays standards suken wheels have no place on these types of cars, so step up or get left behind.
