Cool My latest upgrade League 17" rims with Bridgestone Potenza RE720 (PICS)

Hi guys,

Now that I have updated my website I wanted to share with you the latest upgrades I have done to my FD. These are League 17" rims on which are mounted Bridgestone Potenza RE720 evolution, Size 235/40 both front and rare.

In short it has not been easy to finally make a decision on these but now I am fully satisfied since I got the look I wanted for my FD. From some 1000 rims available here in Malta only 5 were for an RX7, 3 of which were not of the size I wanted (17"), 2 others I did not like the desing. I then found and liked another which was not of polished aliminum but finally I got the design, size and material I wanted in these League rims. Had to loose 15 from the rare width of the tyre because the Bridgestone 250/40 fitted like a ball on these League rims but I got 10 extra on the front since my previous Yokohama were 225/40.

In the end again councled by my specialists and a local RX7 friend, I got the look I wanted for my car and more importantly I reduces the side swaying during acceleration problem I had. My rodeholding has improved by much.

The full story (it was hard to find what I wanted) and more better pic can be found at my site (link below). First pic is of my FD before(Yokohama gold Rims) rest as she is today after a good wax treatment.

Enjoy the pics of my Car and a bit of Malta's deep blue sea. Comments are welcome.

Very nice wheels! I've never heard of the brand, but they definitely fit the car well.

Many here told me that League wheels are made of very good materials and it has never been heard at least here that they failed(broke) at least till now.
