Here are all the pics I have,

the ones in pic 16 are Blitz's I think... that's ErnieT's car

they look pretty good but I personally like the Fikse's better... they look AWESOME in person...

PS. The thing on his rear hatch is the factory rear hatch shade which was listed in the 1993 Accessories catalog.

Thanks everyone. I now know about the shade accessory. Rotary tt, where was that picture taken in your avatar?
Drew thanks I thought it might.
Hey where are you in relation to those shootings? Has it changed your life or what?

Picture taken in the City of Wilmington of my FD. I do have relatives in VA in the area of the shootings - it certainly is a concern.

IMO The gram lights are the best rim for the money they weigh nothing and they look really sic

I think that is the car that was listed on ebay from durham, nc. I contacted that seller and found out that the name of the place is called Topcoat here in raleigh. They said they charge 50 bucks a rim as long as they are in good condition and don't need sandblasting. If you need sandblasting.....65 bucks an hr.

first of all isnt traction a tire tred issue? like slicks have more traction than road tires because they are sticker. I know we are getting victorracers (something like that) for autox but unless you get a really heavy rim it shouldnt matter that much. whats your camber at? and I have never really found coilovers to be anything specile. the best suspension i have seen is a guy in portalnd who has the formula 1 suspension on his z06 something like 5000 in suspension work alone.

I had the chrome stock wheels on my 93, and I loved them. I bent two of them in a mishap involving an open sunroof, short pants, and HUGE wasp, so I went with the chrome BBS RX's I have now.

The BBS RX wheels were the factory wheels on the RX-7 Spirit R, and they really updated the look of my car. I wish I had gotten them in 17", but I just bought new tires for my stock wheels, and didn't want to buy new tires.

VRT...those rims look sweet!!! 16's look fine man.

I agree about the coilovers. I'm staying stock. What tires are best for grip in the rain and light to light?
