Ricey or racey?

Just wondering what everyones opinion of this rx7 is, I will be getting the kit and my car is black as well, what do you guys think of the gold wheels; too much or pretty tight. Just wondering what everyone else thinks.

Also, which rims do you think look better, would be killer if anyone knew what type either of these wheels are.

I don't like that front bumper on the top FD; those holes are too damn big. That body kit on the silver FD looks sweet as hell.

Regarding the rims, I like the style of the gold ones; but if I were you I'd get whatever rims you end up with powdercoated a gun metal color. With a black FD it looks awesome. Ask Batman to show you some pics; his 3rd gen looks absolutely evil

I'm assuming you have a single turbo; if not, I'd go with a T-78 before the kit and rims; there's something about pulling on bikes at highway speeds that appeals to me :p...

I likes the bronze wheels. The gold ones are definitely Ricey looking.

I'd like the GT-C front end better if it wasn't fiberglass.

I think the wheels look nice on an FD. Gunmetal might look better, but just color match and it shouldn't be too "ricey."

As far as the GTC front end, I never really liked it in pictures, always thought those holes were too big like Rich said, but in real life it looks very nice. I have seen it twice in real life, yellow and red, and it looked very good on the car and the holes weren't THAT big
