#126
Pure rx7 thanks for the reply. Did you decide on the color that you are going with yours??also i saw many ferrari with fiorano color that is tottaly different from the one that you posted in the first page. That one is very shinny. I am thinking...other color maybe??what about the fd outside shine??anyone knows the color??
Thanks! I am looking to go to paint by the end of March, maybe sooner. Need to sell these exhausts and seats.
VERY upset I have to sell my amuse and arc exhaust

It seems like you're taking a similar route to the one I'm taking with my FD...
I'm goin with the Feed front bumper, sides and hood, Ganador or Craftsquare mirrors (undecided) and a rear diffuser of sorts...
I'm rolling on a set of Volk GT-Cs 18x9 and 18x10 though....I dig the 5 spoke look.

Got the rear bumper on today, I am going to put the diffuser on once it gets painted. The car is currently: VR, laser red, montego blue, white, black, and carbon fiber. Car needs to be dropped atleast 1.5", need to sell some of these parts to buy suspension. Car is EXTREMELY dirty, haha you can see all the fingerprints on the hood. I think the work vsxx just dont fit the look of this car, need to find a new wheel.[/IMG]

5 SPOKE FTW. HRE 545 are my next set of wheels.
Whoops, sorry about that, do not know how I missed that? Right now I have someone interested in them, and a few behind him. The price is $2000, with work rs lug nuts and like new rear bf goodrich kdw2's, no name tires on the front, one is a new primewell/firestone.
The amuse exhaust is not for sale anymore, will be in the future though. The ARC exhaust I just got is for sale, I plan on getting one in the future as it is BEAUTIFUL beyond description, but just need the funds right now.

Seems like the craftsquare mirrors mount via the small triangular plastic piece near the factory mirrors, thus exposing the stock mirror mounting holes when you remove them. Ganador mounts up via factory holes, which is a bonus in my book when comparing them.

Craftsquare mirrors attach to the stock holes:
Ganador mirrors attach via the stock holes and double sided tap to the triangle.
Project has come to a halt, all my money is tied up in rx7 parts from Japan that people are asking for. I am still waiting on my mazda speed r-spec front bumper, might sell it or keep it. Authentic 99 tails coming next week for my car, 7lust conversion tails will be for sale.
Here is whats left for the exterior build:
FRP ad9 hood
Re-amemiya mirrors
FEED turn signal covers
maybe mazda speed r spec front bumper?
hre wheels

Good to know. Just save up and find some used 19s or 18s you wanted.
My friend in japan with an R33 GTR was selling a perfect set 18 x 10? or 11? all around set in gold for under 3000 USD so they exist.
Edit: look what i found (examples).

Can you post some pictures? I changed my mind (surprise), and I am going to do silver 19" bbs lm (more money than I thought, compared to the 18's) with red center caps and red bbs lugs. Have only seen a few 18" bbs lm's on fd's, but never 19", the 19's make the spokes much more "full" and proportionate, the step-lip should help make the wheel appear smaller than a typical 19" too..

I have the Craftsquare mirrors that mount to the triangles, they are well constructed. One thing that you should consider with all your twin weave carbon, is that they only come in the jdm 1x1 weave. You could have them rewrapped or painted though, extra expense on already expensive parts. The doors do look better with mirrors mounted to the triangles. Too bad nobody makes mirrors that mount higher on the doors like on the Furai or Testarossa.

Going to run me close to $350 to pick these up
identical to this setup with red centercaps and red bbs lugs.

Couple things to remember here:
1. Since the bbs lm has a step lip, visually the wheel looks smaller than it is, specifically on mesh wheels. I feel like my 18" work vs-xx look like they are 17", which IMO is due to the mesh design, as a 5 spoke 18" looks 18".
2. a 265/30/19 and a 265/35/18 have the same tire diamaeter, so the car is not going to be sitting any higher than it would on my current wheels. Plus I have suspension coming in soon.
3. Re-sale on 19" bbs lm is great, I will probably make money if I had to re-sell them, so if they are too big I will just sell them.
4. I think the 18" bbs lm wheel just is not full enough, and looks really small, but IMO the 19" looks 100x better. The problem is, you guys here 19" wheels and you starting running, which would be understandable if it were a track car.
5. One of my last sets of wheels were 19" Advan Sienna Generation 2, the bbs lm's will look smaller, so I think it will be just right.
