Thumbs up Damn, new 1st gen RX-7 wheels!

Those look almost exactly like the alloy wheels from the 1st gen RX-7 from 81 to 85.

I guess you figured how to put in an avatar... but I thought I'd do you a decent version of it in the shrunk size... Those jaggies are really grating....

Why do these posts keep coming back??

Chuck Norris likes to knit sweaters in his free time. And by "knit", I mean "kick", and by "sweaters", I mean "babies".

the coarse weld points of those x-wheels leave something to be desired... look like the frame joints on a chinese made bicycle.

The X2 car is what first turned me on the the 8, but I was never really a fan for most of the added stuff on the movie car.
