It's not the prettiest machine in the world... but it's not really designed to be. It's more of a purpose-built car. The purpose? To be overly-competitive in autocross and road racing. It's not a trailer queen, it's never been to a show, and it stays under a tarp all day every day.
Like I said, it's not pretty... but it's my baby. The wheels are the crowning jewel of it... Remember the IMSA racing series from the 80's? That's where they're from. Centerline Wheels made SEVEN sets in the hard to find 4x110mm bolt pattern that first gen ('79-'85) RX-7's have, and this is one of those sets. They've estimated an appraisal at $3,100 in fair condition... these are nearly new... no scratches, blemishes, curb rash, dents, dings... they're pristine. They're 15x8", and occasionally rub inder HARD cornering, even with all four fender lips rolled. It's almost *too much* wheel and tire.
So, here y'all go.
4.125" of lip!!! At 19.2 lbs., they're a little heavy, but what do you expect from a 2-piece, magnesium/aluminum alloy racing wheel?
That's the ORIGINAL interior, untouched... and ORIGINAL floormats too! Not bad for TWENTY years old!
