Very nice, me likes!

 

let's get those puppies with tires and on the car and some pics in here. Those wheels look great!

 

nice

any pics on the car yet?

 

nope not yet....I have some things to do with the jimlab bushings and installing the 99 spec brakes before I mount them.

 

so you just started this up to tease us all?? LOL

yeah i am considering the same wheels as well... what color is your FD

 

yup just a tease

actually I posted it because in my orginal thread I was whining so badly about what would fit and the "black chrome" color that I thought it would be nice to post that I finally figured out how to calculate fitment myself and the decision of the color. Also, I put the pics up since it seems not not that many people have seen the black chrome (Rays Metal Coat) besides Ray's website pics.

My car is painted IBM...here check out the progress....this is when I had the car almost done....and then took it apart again!!!

those wheels are gonna look ******* badass

 

Let's see some pics of those sf-winnings on your ride! Also, what did you pay for them? If you don't want to post it, would you mind PMing me?

 

I'm almost ready to put the wheels on. The price and where I bought it from are found earlier in this thread

 

Very nice, congrats on the rims. I'm just curious about your central console( the one in the link) is custom, not the carbon fiber, but the leather peice. Because it looks very smooth.

 

I did it like FD3boost, where you just buy some vinyl and some spray on adhesive and have at it.

I think I am going to have to redo it though as I stretch the vinyl to get perfect edges as the glue dried. Well, after a couple months, the vinyl start to pull back and some of the edges are curlying up. You can't see it unless you know where to look....but I'm too **** rententive and probably will end up redoing it one of these days.


Good eye!!

here's the link

ThanksBTW your car is beautiful

 

Here are the wheels and tires test mounted. It should clear EVERYTHING without a problem

Also the extra pad height is evident up front with the old stocker brakes. It should clear the 99 with no issues.

The tires are Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 255/35/18 and 275/35/18.

 

Oh my. . . . . I think I need a kleenex I think I got my buddy in the desk across the hall doin it too. . .

 

You'll love the tire size combo. The wheels look great!!

 

Thanks! And thanks for the recommendation on the size!

 

have you rolled any of the fenders?

 

NICE!!

damn, i want to see it when the car is actually sitting on the ground lol

 

yup did that long time ago...but by my calculations I didn't need to...it was just for insurance.

ulost2my7,

I just need to put in the zerk fittings and then the 99 spec brakes and it will be on the ground

 

man your car is bad ***

 

Here are some quick shots of the car on the ground.

Installed the Zerk fittings for Jimlab's bushings, 99 spec brakes for the rears (waiting for dust shields from RX7store before installing the front), and adjusted the coilovers.

I measure the height from the bottom of the fender to the ground and measured 26" front and back. I think I have enough clearance to get to the 25" Howard Coleman recommended.

 

^ Nice to see most of the major parts attached once again

 

lookin good man

 

*drool*

 

they look like my konig imagines...which i hate
they came with the car...id be much happier with stocks
