2018 Update to Project Wallet Laxative. Ignore the goop on the tires, I haven't had a chance to hit them with a tire brush yet....

^Looks good!! I love that color, what is it? And did you paint it or wrap it? Your car was white, right?

It's a 3M wrap, one which I am hugely disappointed in. The quality just isn't there this time, we think 3M sent us a bad roll of vinyl. If you look just behind the door you can see a spot where the vinyl discolored quite a bit. This on top of some really weird lines throughout the car have me thinking I'm going to peel it and wrap the car in Avery. From 5 feet away you cant even notice, but once you get up to the car and look closely it's pretty apparent. The car was wrapped in Satin White Pearl with a KPMF Blue Pearl laminate, last year.

Looks awesome, what are your wheel and tyre specs. Shame that the wrap didn't turn out as you'd like, but looks great in the pics

Nope. Not at all. I even installed a 5mm spacer up front after I installed a Wilwood BBK to clear the calipers and still no rubbing.

Nope. The alignment shop tried to get the "best" alignment for less treadwear and not focus on performance and see if those conservative numbers worked with the rolled fenders. Good daily commuting setup but not for performance. I will probably go back to the shop to get the proper street/track settings.

Update on my wheels after I installed a Sakebomb Wilwood BBK on the front. The Work Meister M1 3pc (+38 offsett) with the O-disk (most lip) did not fit the new BBK. I had to install a 5mm spacer. So I guess its now +33 effective in the front.

Wow, Some nice setups here. Mine came some Mazdaspeed wheels. Might put my BBS LM wheels from my 300ZX (currently under construction) on the RX7 while I refinish the Mazda wheels

Looks great without the wing. Those wheels are super correct for the FD. Cool old school setup. If you end up ditching them LMK. Who'd you pick it up from? Lots of JDM dealers in VA.

I used JDM Expo. They shipped it from Japan to Baltimore and then a truck was waiting their and brought it to my driveway. I'm going to install the Mazdaspeed spoiler soon.

-0.8 in the front

I also have the lip on the front and rear fenders rolled completely flat.

Looks awesome, I really like their new designs. The lip behind the spokes looks like a watch face with tick marks, is that something they machined into the metal or a lighting effect?

Thanks, I absolutely love the wheels. The machined marks are actually there. I love the effect and gives the wheel extra dimension. The marks are smooth to the touch as well.

Hard to tell, not the clearest pic - possibly Advan RS or RZ, or Work Emotion CR or CS, at a guess.
