Heya

Enjoy!

nice c43, vette. welcome to the club! and nice looking rx7 too. looks like you have another project going on in the garage behind it.

i've had two FD's in the past... a red 93 r1 a while back, and i also owned a silver 93 touring a few years ago, right before i bought the c36. they are really fun cars, once you get over their temperament. i really wish i had the luxury of keeping them both at the same time!

Welcome to the board. Car looks great. Black is the best color IMO on the C43 and those wheels look great.

The rims are staggered ADR M-sports in 18 inch in Hyperblack , whats really funny is I have the exact same rims on my RX7 in 19 inch . It just so happens the C43 had them when I bought it.

Your ADR M Sport wheels
Do you know what the sizes are front and back?

What size tires? I want to get the widest tires I can fit, I don't mind rolling the fenders...
