Thanks
I'm sure Tim @ HP Powdercoating (http://www.hp-powdercoatings.com) could do what ever you wanted.

Here are some pics of wheels he did for a 350Z

He did the suspension pieces, subframe and calipers for my FD and they turned out great.

your gonna have to run spacers if you go overfenders. i have Origin front and rears 18x9 +/- 0 18x10.5 -26 and i think i can still go lower offsets. yes it is a -26

Not a big fan of these wheels since everyone has them, but I bought a set as my track setup since I don't care about aesthetics at the track. 17x9 + 35 with 255/40r17's all around. No rubbing, pretty damn flush, etc. etc.

I have some more pics, I'll post them up in a few days:

Instead of relying on what others think, you know you can always measure it up.

PM me if you want to know how.

10 +35 front

+25 rear is what i'd recommend unless you need to rotate. That's if you want to maintain even flushness front and rear.

Can someone help me out, i bought "Bronze Tenzos 17" DC6 v1" for my `93 Red RX7.

Can someone tell me if it will match alright and look decent from past experience? Or can someone link me to a red rx7 with bronze rims on so i can get a basic idea? i couldn't find any. They will be here by April

does any one know if 18x9.5 12mm offset rear and 18x8.5 30mm offset front would fit nicely? and what size tires should i lace it with? and for that matter how would the concave look be... would it have a nicer lip to it? or would 17's be the better looking choice? because i want the 18's more than 17's but if the 18's have a shitty sized lip i wont like them...

The 18's aren't as concave as the 17x10 for sure.

That's a relative question, depends on what tire size and fender mods you are gonna do.

i'd run a 18x9 up front though cause you can't stretch anything on the 8.5 for the FD.

How are you planning on fitting those sizes without a fender roll or fender flares?

^ Nice set up man. Your FD looks very sleek with those wheels. I can't wait to get a set of my own in black for my FD.
