My last "toy" was a '73 240z. Very nice car, and very fast, but died of frame rot over a decade ago.

The 1st gen RX7 is a very nice replacement. Not quite as refined, or comfortable, but lighter, quicker, and more race oriented.

I'm using 13x8 Revolution wheels along with 215/50/13 Sumitomo HTR 200s and I'm very happy with that setup. If you stay with 13" wheels, you keep a low gear ratio and lower center of gravity. But everybody has an opinion, and they will all be different. There's really no way to go wrong unless you try to stuff some 19s in there and still call it a race car.

I am really down for function before fashion and a lower gear ratio would be good allso, as I am not doing any thing for engine power for a while as I live in calfornia around SF bay area we have very strict smog laws
I really love the stance of your ride with the 13s. thats kinda the direction i would like to take. I am gona see if i can find 13x8 thats in my price range, Whats the off set your running? thanks
