some rx-7 shop told me that it isn't a good idea to put certain aftermarket rims on my car because the stock rims are designed to cool the brakes.... I was just curious what truth is behind this and if they are designed to cool the brakes how significant are they?

a place called alamo rotary..... it's owned and ran by a guy by the name of tito, he's a real ******* that doesn't know ****... he said that my misfire problem was my injectors, when it was (I'm assumming) the MAS... after installing the haltech the car ran fine, and I have the same injectors in there.... but he pleaded up and down that it was the injectors and wanted something like $850 for the job.... he also turbo charged a 3 rotor and spent about a year building it and the thing is a huge piece of ****... ran a high 15...
