Not my taste at all, but not as bad as i was thinking when I read the title. Also needs to have those FD lights on the bumper smashed out with a hammer for him. That looks even more retarded than the rims

BWAHAHAHA

They don't look too big for the car though, I guess whatever floats your boat...by the looks of the car its not built for all out handling and track performance - Im just smiling and chalking up one more chick who not only DRIVES a 7 but modifies it also.

it actually goes with the bodykit. I thought it would be worse. Now if there was no body kit, the rims would look bigger. But 20's, chrome, and body kits is not my style.

That really doesn't look half bad. I don't care much for the fd lights. I have 18's on my fc convertible. I personally love the way they look even though they do sacrifice handling and performance. I didn't have have the money to buy the performance rims I would like to have on my fc but I was given these 18" chrome rims that look dang good on the car, so it was either them or stock. One question though, lets say I was going to race someone... would i be smart to throw the stock rims on there... how much would it affect performance. I had my n/a pulled and did a full T2 swap. I have had the big rims on there since the swap and don't know how much quicker it would be with the light wieght 15's back on it. The good thing about the heavy rims is that they keep the car on the ground pretty good through turns, and when i drive it hard they dont spin too much b/w 1 & 2, and 2 & 3.

I agree, its not nearly as bad as I thought. Not my style, but at least its relatively tasteful. Although after seeing 26's on a Caprice Classic (they had to raise the suspention several inches to make them fit) nothing suprises me anymore.

Doesn't look too bad, but not my style. There was a vert with 22's on craigslist a while back that looked like 4x4.

I like it. I wouldnt do it but it shows that a female with a seven has taste its different even with the fd lights on the bumper it looks nice and i have seen some jacked up 7's that just made me but i like what she did thats nice as far as performance she probably dont care it looks good to her and its not a bad looking car and at least the rims are nice looking

the rims are not my style, too flashy, but i do how ever second the liking of the fd turn signals it gives it a more stream lined agressive look.

i have 18's on my 7 and i love them to death. i really don't see much of a difference in performance 'cept for a bit in acceleration.

Actually I know this girl whos hot and into cars like crazy- always asking about my RX-7 and any new upgrades. But then again your right- shes in that approximate 0.1 percentile of women

Oh yea and about the rims- I personally wouldnt go past around 17" unless its for show
