well my dad was in charge of this one and he decided he was going to put snow tires on for the time that the new ones take to come in the mail. i know it doesnt look perfect right now, but its really the first thing that was done to the car besides new paint. ---

we might do that also, theres adjustable coilovers on it, its just right now driveway is kind of washed out and i dont want to damage anything. Also i have a set of “racing” seats going in sometime this weekend. Looking for a front lip kit and we are going to try and get the rims back in for paint soon. ---

anyways enough of this nonsense, wheres the best place to get them powdercoated? we had them at walden collision, but they said that the rims didnt come apart into 2 pieces. i think otherwise, they are rivots holding the lip and the spokes together. ---

> [@92slowcivic](#): > > American racing rims on an rx7? sick. are these actually two piece rims or are those fake bolts? either way this car and you suck a lot of cock. im not sure if they are or not, they look like two piece, but i could be wrong. ARE wouldnt have been my first choice, but my dad really doesnt want to listen to me, hes going to do it his way. i help him work on it, detail it and take it out occasionally, but its pretty much his car. If i had it my way, there would be an s2k sitting in my driveway instead of this 13B crap… edit- im not the one sucking cock, your the one too busy to go golfing and have a few brews, cuz your boyfriend tired you out, fag. ---
