Yep, I think I have that one saved too LOL. THANKS!

My car used to be MB, but I had it repainted black. But damn, MB looks so good if it's not peeling and oxidizing. Your car looks fantastic man. Which wheels are those btw? Love those.

I bought this FEED bumper from my roommate just recently. I wanted it before but he didn't want our cars to look too much alike lol. I can't wait to get home and put it on with the Sanai sides and see what it looks like.

Their ACE alloy wheels.....
Not sure if they still make them, they were part of their tuner line started a while back. I bought 3 sets, one for me and one for each of my sons for CHRISTmas, from my buddy's performance shop at a great discount...mine is the only gun metal set though ... their set is Bronze..

18x8.5 +35mm
18x9.5 +35mm

My oldest son wants to paint his FD from MB to flat black. His paint is faded and chalked up pretty bad....
My other son's FD is VR....

Actually I think I remember reading something about ACE Alloy Wheels before, I don't remember if it was you that named them though. I looked for them before and couldn't find them, but I think I found them this time, although I don't see those wheels anywhere so they may not make them anymore. I like how you said CHRISTmas LOL. :thumbup: Yeah those wheels look really good though. One good thing about leaving it the current paint color is that usually the door jambs aren't bad enough to need repaint, and if you want to do it right you'll have to do that to switch to a new color. Ugh. Your paint looks really good though.

Supraman in this world there are two types of people out here. They’re followers and Leaders. Those who follow, would blend within a crowd and their presence would never be known. Then there is a leader that thinks outside the box and switches the game up, which would then stick out more than the rest of the crowd and never be forgotten. If you do things caring what others think you going to hang yourself cuz this world is full of haters and very little good people.. lol I got 19s and everybody knows my car…

Lol....Very well said!! The funny thing is that EVERYONE who sees the car in person....The FIRST thing they say is.....WOW, those wheels look killer on the car!! The only ones who ever had negative comments were guys on this forum who had smaller wheels! Size does matter fellas!!

Sinking the wheels in more to get that nice deep dish look.... and with +50 on my set up I just can't sink the wheels in anymore to get that deep dish.

However, willet got the 12's to fit with just a fender pull and some work its amazing and looks great! I probably need to call up CCW again and redo my wheels so I can run 315's in the rear...lol

Any more pics? Are those LM20's? 18x10.5 +50 I gather from your post? If so more pics would be great... thats the exact wheel I've been debating on getting. What size tires are you currently running in that picture?

I believe that 19's or 20's are nice but only good when combined with a full bodykit

little,

I think you're missing the point of the RX-7. You'd get the same or worse reaction if you put stretched 15's on a 997.

Some people are more polite (speedjunkie) about it than others (Barban), but posting disrespectful comments and insulting this forum as a whole isn't going to help your case, or your image.

Can you tell me what disrespectful comments have I posted? I'm not trying to disrespect anyone but if I do I like to do it in-person not online "face to face". Those who leave very disrespectful comments about each other post/thread are the ones disrespecting this community. Thats the point i'm trying to make. I'm just voicing what “A LOT” of people on here are to scare to speak out online but you'll hear it all in the meets. I’ve seen a lot of setups on here that is not my style, do you see me telling them their car is ugly or that its yunk, wack or nasty? No cuz I understand other people have different styles and I'm on here cuz I appreciate the car as a whole. . I'm just trying to make a point that we should be more united like other forums.
