Installed Enkei RP01's (pics) :)
Finally got a set of gunmetal 17" Enkei RP01 wheels that I wanted for so long. They are very rare in Europe. Fronts are 8x17 ET38 with 235/40/17, rears 9x17 ET38with 255/40/17. Tyres are awesome Bridgestone RE540's, at $380 per rear tyre and $320 per front tyre they're ugh... expensive 
Here are some pics from the trackday this past Sunday:
With Eibachs, these wheels/tyres and good alignment I managed to drop more then 2.5seconds off my previous best time

Lol... I knew I shouldn't have posted that pic - it distracts attention from the wheels 
Its the same girl as in my avatar. My girlfriend. In that pic we jumped out (out of track) for a coffe break and some food

But seriously though the wheels look really good. I love the color you went with to go on the red car, it looks really race-inspired and I love it.
Glad to see you actually use the car also!!!
Very nice FD and keep us updated

Yep, think I agree with SurroundedBySe7ens: I like the seat-cover on your passenger seat a lot more than the wheels.
Seriously though, rims look real good. You guys don't have a requirement to run track events with the windows down?

Well, I'm still debating with myself whether to get them powdercoated in silver or white.
What is everyone elses opinion ?
Sometimes I like it, sometimes I think brighter color would be nicer, although like it is now looks very exotic

We rent a track and set our own rules. No requirements, everyone takes care of himself. Stupid, dangerous ? Maybe, but without incidents so far (hope it stays this way).

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
Leave'm that color....they look good. I just dont dig the chin spoiler thats red...kinda offsets the color scheme on the 7 a bit. I'd go back to black on it if ya could.

What was interesting was the fact that there was no way he could lap faster then me. Later in the pits he came over and we talked a bit - he was REALLY SURPRISED how well I was doing on the straights (only ran 10psi) not to mention the corners where he really got left behind. Only portion of track where he was superior was at braking after long straights.
We ran equal laptimes for 3-4 laps, then I let him pass and followed at a distance and it was the same.
RX7 can't loose lol
Anyone can tell what kind of bike it is ?

Enkie RP01 are rarely than you think as they stopped making them about two years ago. They were replaced by the RP02s.
Here is one of my 9X17s that were custom refinished.
