I'm sure when that time comes I'll get a whole set of matching gauges. However for the time being I wanted to run these to help monitor the rebuilt engine.
when you decide to get rid of the gauges for a custom one off unit. . . please do keep me in mind. I wouldn't mind buying them off of you Unless someone else has spoken for them, but I definitely want them

but yes . . . those look AMAZING.

I want wider tires so flares (and likely spacers) will be necessary. I'm thinking 15x8" wheels with at least a 225 series tire in the near future. When I'm ready for the cage and the custom widebody kit down the road I may run even wider wheels. Not sure yet. I know good street rubber is getting hard to find in a 15" wheel but I wouldn't want to go much bigger than that on a 1st gen.

I prefer to run old school wheels and old school parts and keep the car looking period-correct as much as it is functional to do so. Wheels like this I think suite the FB the best. I drool over 2 piece BBS or 3 piece Hayashi's
