with that huge wheels you must have lost 20whp..lol..nice steal for a 84k car..

[offwhiteghost]

The wheels look bigger then they are, they had a low offset but tires were 10 mm wider in front and 20mm in back. Slightly larger (2-3mm if i recall) diameter then stock though.

The wheels were my doing, $120 off a 260z :D

make/model: Mazda Rx-7
price: $50
location: San Diego
Bought it from a piston guy who thought it ran on cylinders in which he flooded. He called a junk yard and I arrived just in time to take it off his hands. It ran for about 1 week and my friend blew the motor. Sold the shell to his brother who fixes only rotaries. I made $0 from it. LOL I never payed anything else. It was a non op but was running so yea. Wasn't mad since it was only $50. It's not a 3 series,or I would have been super pissed.
