    Default mmm... Meaty!

    Got some new to me wheels and new tires for the NC. 3rd gen RX-7 wheels ( 16x8 ), painted Bronze, with 245/45/16 Hankook RS2s.

    The Kook vs. the stock Michelin:







    A few pics of the new setup:

    Looks good, Thomas. Real good.

    Will I see it this weekend in Mineral Wells? No better way to break in new tires...

    Thanks for the compliments! I'm pretty happy with the look and I can't wait to scrub the tires in.

    Sorry jrj512, I'm not going to make the event this weekend.

    LOL, I wish I could make it to Hallett, but after Nationals and driving to and from Topeka I'm not going to make it. That's just too much for one week.

    Looks good, but you need to paint your style bar cover gold to match the wheels, or just paint it black.

    I read " 3rd gen RX-7 wheels" and thought, "Ugh! On an NC? Gross"

    Then I scrolled down and was smacked in the face. That looks really nice. I like. Bronze wheels on a black car FTW.

    Looks great! Not a fan of the toilet bowl emblem on the wheels though.

    I'd really like to paint the bar satin black, but the top usually scrapes them on the way down. I'd be really surprised if they didn't get really scratched up.
