Exactly man, there will always be haters, people to slow you down, or make you think twice. Go with instincts and do what you love.

The wheels weren't actually meant for my car to begin with. They were supposed to go on my bros BMW, but he couldn't get them to fit right without having to do some fender rolling. So...I took them off his hands. Fenders are rolled from the previous owner, but it's not really needed since my tires are stretched (I hate stretched). Running 225/40/18's all around...When tires need to be replaced, I'm thinking 245's or 255's all around. Then I'll def need to do some fender work and I'll be ready to plant the car through some corners.
Edit: Forgot to mention, I'm running a 10mm spacer in the rear. I could use a 10 in the front as well, but I'm going to wait until I get the new tire setup on there.

526's aren't a bad choice either. Gloss black over white is never a bad option, but ya, I like some color on my cars. Possibilities are endless!

I actually like your wheels VinnyMac, but then again I used to drive this around town (1982 RX7 w/302). It was known as "skittle" in the region people can suckit.

Taste

yeah i don't really favor stretched tires too much and as far as camber, i can understand a few degrees but when your camber looks like your cars wheels are gonna fly off that's doing too much lol

Thanks! Thats probably the gnarliest 7 I've seen! Must have been awesome!
Are those 'Vette sawblades in the rear and toyota corolla wheels up front? It's like an identity crisis, lol, but I totally dig it!

Ya, the fitment/flush thing isn't ideal in my book either. Slight camber is good, but when you start lookin like a hovercraft down the road, you got issues. lol, btw, sorry for kinda jackin up your thread. I just wanted to contribute what 521's look like on the SC's and of course my wheels start a civil war.

lmao gimp---that thing would surely turn heads in any town.

And vinny mac were not being 'haters' its just your wheels look terrible.

First the color choices and second the mix matched nonsense just doesnt go.

There are good ways to get attention than there are bad ways.

Good luck i guess

Those are stock 7 wheels in front, and in the rear it was some really old Enkei's of which I don't know the model. Looked just like old C4 wheels though and I was asked that a lot. Those were my drag radial wheels. I had a pair for the front too, but at that time I didn't have tires on them yet.

The old 7's have a goofy bolt pattern that made finding anything in 15" a royal PITA.

I didn't do the paint job actually, I got the car as a roller that way. My understanding from the previous owner was that it had been painted identically to a Hotwheels RX7.

Anyway I'll bow out

LOVE IT. Althought I probably wouldnt have the ***** to do it myself, maybe if I was younger..

I'm guessing you didn't get the matching hotwheels car then? Should def do a hunt for it. I think it would be worth it...if not, find a R/C car and replicate it!

I didn't call anyone a hater, I just let you guys have your opinions. Like I said, I'm not here to fight/judge anyone. I already explained my reasoning as to why I did them in this fashion. I appreciate the goodluck tho, have a good day!

Thank you very much and haha, ya, it's not something most people are willing to pull off. It takes time to get used to, but everywhere I go, it's nothing but double takes, people stopping me at lights, and asking about my car.

samc

ehh, he was asking what I thought. he shouldn't have asked a whole forum if he couldn't take it. he's asking a forum of lexus people to justify him purchasing a set of knockoff cheap wheels in cheap lookin black. if you like them, holy ****... just buy em! and this is coming from someone who purchased a set of xxr 527's when they were first release on zilvia's gb from next level motoring for the s13 vert... **** looks awesome in every color...


except black

plus I can't run black wheels. clubloose's rulebook specifically states:

Black wheels are expressly forbidden at all Club Loose events under penalty of public humiliation
for having no taste, includes flat black, matte black, gloss black and “Time Attack” style.

i agree lol

samc

im confused, a subjective subject like opinions of a certain wheel and/or it's color indicates.. what now?

btw volks don't count... they're volks lol

evileagle

Props on having the ballz to do that, but as far as looks, I think it looks hideous to be quite honest...but to each his own. If it was my car, I would have done gold, silver, hell even white or purple if I wanted to stand out. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, so plz don't flame mine...

I appreciate guys like you Evileagle. My previous car was an S14 (Ya, I'm part of the whole 240 to SC crew - unfortunately).





I had purple wheels already...so if you can understand that now..it's a reason why I went a little more unique...or alot..depending how you feel.

Edit: Again to the OP! Sorrrrryyy for this mess in this thread. I'll stop posting unless I really need to.
