The wheels look nice, keeps in the theme of the old school style of the car but I think you need to do something about that fender gap. You probably don’t want to lower it but unfortunately I think you have to since the wheels are a bit too small for the huge fender wells the FC has.

Gah, sounds like my S12. True trailing-arm, huh? Maybe get some taller tires then.

this is mine and my dads, we split the cost, kind of just a father/son car project. he loves rx7s for some odd reason and im interested in learning about rotarys. im also not going to complain, its a fun little car to have.

i like the rims, i think they do keep the old school look, the turbos came with similar rims stock, not positive though. im headed out to work downtown tonight, ill probably snap a few pictures.
