My First RX-7 ***PICS***

Sorry if someone notices these pics are a repost from my other thread, but new and couldn't figure the whole edit title thing. It is currently hiding from the neighborhood "mob" so they won't hassle me about another non-running car (for now). Looking forward to driving this bad boy on the street!

Man I love those wheels. Do you have any idea what they are? Or does anyone else on here know what they are by any chance?

I've seen them before, I think they were stock on some 1980 models?

Looks good, if you have anything except the GSL-SE model you just saved yourself a big headache by getting a car that already has wheels. And good looking ones too.

What does it need to get running? Just something wrong with it, or is it missing parts?

They are 15x7 BBS's with 225 50's for now and all the center caps are present and accounted for. It's a '85 GSL and the last owner told me it had a carb problem, but this is the same guy who's taillight bulb was out on his PT Cruiser and he bought an entire taillight assembly! Everypart was there when I got it except for the glass roof (Some @$$hole in Houston is Cruising Around with Now)and that rear piece of trim.

Sweet find, consider going with a Mikuni, weber or even a holley instead of rebuilding the carb. Especially if you're going to chase horsepower. But beware if you have emissions.

Welcome to the dark side.

Sorry aws140, wheels aren't currently on the market and when they do they will be completely redone with the stickiest street tires I can find. I will put you first in line when I can come up with some GSL-SE components that have the more common bolt pattern. First this thing needs to get put on the road and than I can worry about getting my panasports.
