Shots of my 1983 RX-7
My buddy's got a pretty good camra & tripod set up, so he took me out to a parking garage & heres some of the shots- more to come but these are thus far what he's gone thru in photoshop to clean up the lighting. Check back & there should be more pictures soon.

Thanks man!! I actually bought the car with these wheels. I have seen anywhere from $200-$500+ depending on the shape that the wheels are in and tire combo, etc.

Nice man, stock color ? wheels look good and polished
I bought a fully straight set of le wheels for $250, shipped I think. Just really depends on who is selling them and when. Very rare wheels.
here are are my 2 clean fb's


Rotarybeat, I don't know much about iso, could you give me a basic overview of how to tune that for different lighting and such

notveryhappyjack -- how long did it take you to polish the wheel lips? theres no way those are that shiny stock. the guy ended up selling the car & keeping the wheels. If i do get my hands on a set, I'm gonna paint the mesh section bronze & polish the lip, but only if the clearcoat is in bad shape. no sense tearing up a perfectly good wheel. your cars look nice though man!
i wet sanded each wheels lip until the factory dull alloy color was off.
then I got some mothers mag/aluminum polish I hit each wheel 40 plus times to give it the shine
I would say two weeks of work to get the wheels that shinny.
here is a shot of the stock vs many hours of sanding/polishing

Thanks guys!! A lot of sweat, blood, and tears have gone into this car...a lot. Not to mention money, lol. I got the air dam from Black Dragon Automotive, here's a link to their website. If I remember correctly it is about $250.

I had the body shop cut the fog light holes out so it wouldn't block air coming into my brake ducts...I think it looks better also
