Wanted a change...After selling my C2's I got new wheels, tires and still had about $700 left over:D

saxyman990 01-10-04 08:48 PM

hahaha....well, I guess $700 extra in your pocket is definately a good enough reason to switch :cool:

:whogives: They still function as a wheel. Most "less" known wheel brands have pretty much the same quality and weight. Unless your a hardcore track racer, 3000 dollar rims are not needed and way overkill.


Unless you want to look cool to your friends because you have the latest "JDM" rims on your FD.

bajaman 01-10-04 09:04 PM

Yeah, I have to say I like the old ones better, too.

What is with the chrome or painted door handles, too?
Seems kind of odd, to me......

Okay...but she's still real fast; seriously, I think what I really have is a very unique looking RX7 now. I have only found one other 7 with this type of wheel.

Scrapiron7 01-10-04 09:08 PM

I liked the old ones much better too :( Those new ones look like they would be very heavy.

They are actually lighter than the C2's....

the exact reason i sold my volks and kept my blitzs....and the fact that i bought all 4 with tires for $1000.

clayne 01-10-04 09:20 PM

I hate to say it man, but in my opinion the C2s look much better. :/ Doesn't help the fact that C2s look like they were almost made for the FD. Too bad they're on the heavy side.

JTmoney 01-10-04 10:21 PM

I would have stuck with the C2's. But, whatever floats your boat.:cool:

Trying to copy me? ;)

I gotta agree with everyone, I don't like the rims. I'm not sure what C2's look like, but I'm sure I'd like them better than those.

Your FD is unique looking, yes, but so is Michael Jackson. Unique is not necessarily better.

Roar 629 01-10-04 11:06 PM

:) umm it's his car.. do wat u want.

700 is 700 at least he got a nice set of RE lights out of it, NICE ;)

fastrx7man 01-10-04 11:21 PM

They are C-West lights not RE....

911GT2 01-10-04 11:27 PM

Ok now I definitely like the C2's better.

SpeedKing 01-10-04 11:33 PM

Haha, you fellas are really giving this guy grief! Now he's going to be second-guessing himself and feel like crap every time he looks at his car since it has nobody's approval! :p:

I just meant sleek lights in general. Wheels look good though. ;)

rxman720b 01-11-04 12:34 AM

It's okay Bill. Your car is still faster than most people that post here!
