Well, the first upgrade I did was to change the hideous wheels. I felt like an asshole driving around with them on. I couldn't let people see the car with these wheels on even if the car did suck. It was still an Rx7 after all and it deserved better...Right? RIGHT???
Let me remind you of what they looked like...
See that guy on the top left? That's my friend Gary. I bet he wishes he doesn't exist anymore. I'd feel the same way if someone posted a pic of me next to this car.
Jesus man. I thought I was riding around on ninja stars. This was the type of wheel that a 5 year old would put on his drawing.
Usually a kid grows up and realizes how lame his tastes were and goes with something better when he grows up but apparently the guy that bought these wheels did not come to this realization. Neither did the guy that designed the wheels. I feel very sorry for both of them. These wheels should not exist. It's just wrong. These wheels have a right to be on an FD like Gallagher has a right to be on stage doing his stand up. I don't understand. I really don't.
Sooo, I did what any other member on the forum would do. I bought stock wheels and put up a for sale thread for the ninja wheels.
As some of you already know, this was not a success. Here is my FS thread.

In that thread, you will see the weakest description of wheels you have ever read. In retrospect, I wish I spiced up the description. I should have mentioned that they were round and maybe that they were made in the USA (maybe). These wheels quite literally had value to no one. Sort of like AIDs. I got more hits on the other forum but the gist was the same. It seems like you guys have less assholes...which is sad because assholes are funny and everyone loves a good fart. Here are some quotes.

I really wish this could have panned out. It would have been hilarious.
Looking back at the thread, I was wrong about the weight. They were 50lbs per corner.
So I did end up getting stockers on the car. Much better. I now have a roller with stock wheels. Now that the car isn't offensive anymore, it's time to actually get it on the road ASAP. It's time for v8.
