VERY nice! I like the mirror image of your garage. They were very well done.

Your car is looking good too with the body kit. Hopefully it'll be all done for next summer.

I like your wheels, very cool. I also like the strut bar. It would look better painted or powdercoated.

Tell them you have old aluminum rims and you want them mirror polished. Or maybe just polished.

How about Racing Hart Type CR?

yeah just tell them you wanna get em shined up or redone if they scratched...

Hmmm - 17" stock look-alikes ... me likey! I'm a fan of the six-spoke stockers, and don't want to get rid of them anytime soon, and the thought of having them milled in +3 size kinda sounds cool. But just thinking about the price tag on custom-milled wheels - !! That's a good way to kill your wallet ...

I was playing Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 the other day on my PS2 and finally unlocked the HGS130 Fairlady (2+2 280ZX), and it has the six-spoke design wheels. In the game, you can get the stock wheels in +1 or +2 size, and they look sweet as +2's - fills the fenderwells quite nicely.

I would have mine shined up and chromed like yours, but I drift on a daily basis, and don't want to risk killing a brand new chrome job If I happen to make an unplanned off-road excursion ...

One post you say C7, the other you say it is called CR7. I don't see either model listed. Which is it?

sorry my bad

See bleech when those CR rims came out they had two names one rim the CR rim was a one piece rim which was cheaper than the CR7 rim which is a two piece rim, but i guess now there calling them by the same name. But the rim that i believe is better is the two piece rim.
