My new FB Thread, check out the new wheels!

[P71]

They're stock 1st Gen RX-7 "LE" wheels (known as meshies). 4x110 and the original lug bolts. They got to me in all silver paint (factory IIRC). I stripped them with Oven Cleaner, then a citrus degreaser, and a pressure washer. Then I sanded (150/240/400) the lips and hand-polished with Mother's (the real stuff that comes in a damn can!) 3 times. Then I masked the lips and painted the factory "rough" cast centers straight with Dupli-Color Bronze wheel paint. 2 coats per center, 1 can did all 4 wheels. Unmask, mount, polish one more pass (quicky) and snap pics.

It's a basic "+1" setup. The stock wheels were 13x5.5 with 185/70/13 Toyo Spectrums. These are 14x5.5 with 195/60/14 Toyo Spectrums. Actual tread width is nearly an inch more! Those get replaced with Falken Azenis Rt615's tomorrow anyways (in 195/60/14).

This winter in addition to replacing the door I plan on adding a small front and rear spoiler, fixing all of the door dings/dents, and doing all of the sanding and priming. I have a lot of ideas for what the finished product should look like.
