FrestyleFC3S 06-17-2003 05:20 PM

thanks guys....theyyre old school rims...so they look better on old school cars ....



but yea they look so nice....and i cant wait to lower...tein he coils

Arghhh! You suck! I wanted a set almost like that. Last year when I went to Japan I found a set of near mint perfect RS-8's for about $700. 16x8 front and 16x9 rear. But the offset was for a Z32 or Supra. They would have stuck out too far on my car. Bahhhh!!!! I love those wheels. With a reasonable drop in body height they will look even better.



Good find!

kev brakes rock man.. ROXORS!!!! .... the rears are weird i think the pads arent on right or the calipers or something....maybe not on all the way, but its weird cause they only should bolt on to one spot.....cause theres some rust residue on part of the rear rotors, taht doesnt come off with braking...ill show u in person at rotorfest...

Jerk_Racer 06-19-2003 05:34 PM

Possibly a warped rotor or the rear isn't sliding as it should. That'd be my first couple of guesses.

rx7machine 06-19-2003 05:51 PM

Looks good.

FrestyleFC3S 06-19-2003 11:57 PM

no....theyre new rotors....the thing is though....the pad itself isnt down far enough....

TyresmokinRx7 06-23-2003 10:58 AM

Well not 1in, but if he put's people in it and the car bounces, it can happen. all depend's on the spring rating.
