In those pictures they do look rusted, but that's because they've been sitting so long. But his car is now running beautifuly and that doesn't show now.

i can't see anyting!
I would say. to powder coat them black. or use them to stick some race rubber on. drag slicks or auto-X tires. but i think they would look good black with your red car.

Thread hijack in process...

Many people have asked me about the use of ZEX due to it's "smart" system, which monitors nitrous pressure, and uses the stock fuel injectors to add fuel. Other's yet have blasted me for nay-saying a product I have never used.

I have heard more horror stories, additionally to this one, using ZEX than I have any other brand of system. The system does not take into consideration the fact that the fuel injectors are easily overloaded, the condition of the fuel injectors, does not offer any ability to tune for an A/F (too lean for a rotary) or that timing must be considered.

It is for these reasons that I NEVER recommend ZEX, or any other brand of dry nitrous oxide, to be used on a rotary engine.

You may now continue bad-mouthing hideous rims.

I like them.

What bolt pattern are they? Sorry, I'm unaware if you have a 5 lug or not. If you sell them, how much?

I don't think any of the recent posts on this matter at all, as the final decision was probably made last november when this thread went away.

Derek,

I think they look great.

I cant wait unit you start your TII swap.

Let me know if its soon. I gotta get that s5 turbo in so I can give you my s4 turbo and manifold. I think you will be happy with it if you do. Its in really good shape... no shaft play or fin damage.
