Some praise for ARD T2

Just like to let everyone know Rishie delivered big time on a wheel and tire package. They arrived in flawless condition and at a great price.

Thanks Rishie!!

Any money spent on the FD Rx7 is justifiably needed LOL

lol. Much thanks Greg. I'm glad we were able to get the tires before the expected delivery time. Please enjoy. You gotta love our packaging. Way better than tire rack's method. That **** didn't work for us so I had those boxes made, lol. Well added the order to applied materials' order. hehe. They were the perfect size.

Peace, Rishie

Aye, tire rack ships em with a round cover over the wheels and two bands holding them on. They roll around in the fed ex truck.

Rishie shipped each tire in it's own box. No rolling around. Arrived in perfect condition.

Here's a few pics.

Nice. The tires are Falken Azenises, but what are the wheels? Tire, wheel sizes too? Offsets? Widths? All the gorey details . Assuming this is an FC fitment?

The rears are 245/45/17's on 17X9 rims, The front are 225/45/17's on 17X8's.

The rims are FN01RC's in hyperblack from 5 Zigen.

Oh as far as shipping I never asked. He quoted me a price mounted balanced and shipped that was cheaper than I could even just get the tires and wheels, not counting mount/balance and shipping.

Oh as far as offset, I left that up to Rishie. He knows what works and what doesn't from experience so He'll know.

Hmmm.... Almost the exact setup I've been trying to get for the McSeven. Seems he's out of the 17x9's when I called last week. I'll see if I can catch him & see if they're in now.

Hopefully within a month or two I'll finally get pics of those Fikse FM/10's mounted. Rishie hooked me up with those almost 2 years ago. He is a good seller that goes out of his way for his customers.

I'm confused those pics you posted aren't hyper black they look more like the metallic silver. Here is the hyper black:

Those are black, not hyperblack. Hyperblack is more like gunmetal. The flash of the camera reflected off the wheels though and gave them a more silver look but they are a blackish silver.
