photoshop pics

This is my baby should look like after my income tax check is cashed. All I really need is the rims.
Anyone no where I could find 3piece rims for under $2000? 17" by 12" rear 17" by 9" front.
Thank's

Luis (Miami,Fl)

Thank's for the reply Manntis. I'll check them out.
Here is the pic I was trying to show.
Also, you guy's with T2-engines, what FCD are you using'. Because the home made ones that my friends are using in their FC's consist of a 3.3K resistor and
"That's it" nothing else. And their car's have been running like that for years with no problems (Stock ECU,turbo 10PSI). But the home made FCD's that I've seen in this forum look a bit more complicated. My fried says he got this trick from a guy named Carlos Lopez (CLR Racing) here in miami and he's been a rotary guru for 17years.

Hoping to here some opinions.

I like the stickers Luis. Looks cool.


Personally, I am 90% sure I am going with Konig Imagine Rims, at 17x8. front, and 17x10 rears.

BTW, 90% of the Turbo first Gens here are either Haltech, Wolf, or Blow Through Carbs. They don't need FCD's. The TII ECU is limited to TII engines, with all the "extra" stuff you don't really need.

they are cool looking, but the only 17" they have are 17x7.5. Not 8" or 10"

They aren't real racing rims, they're made for hondas and such. If you're going for it look into Forgeline, Fikse, CCW, Kinesis (yummy), BBS, and all of those other brands. Probably won't hit the 2k budget though...


Personally, I think your car looks like an EP race car, and if I recall most of those run 13" or 15" rims, so 17's are gonna look huge on that car.
these are what this kit is designed for.



here are 17's just a bit too big



you should go for a nice even look;


damn, this one looks cool....

Nice wheels everyone. Especially you manttis. Where did you get them?
Oh and does anyone know what kind of body kit is on the red rx-7 above? I have been wondering for a long time.

I want to know whose kit that started as as well. I'm sure it has a fair amount of custome work, just look at the spoiler....

Damm!!! You guy's have some badass first gen's
I think directfreak has the right Idea with those Konigs.
But are they 3piece rims, or just look like 3piece.
How much would those cost by the way?

the 15" inch rims that I have now are just to old.
