Sorry bud, gold and black off the menu. Original wheels where painted gold and i really didn\'t like them. A day and some white primer solved the problem. But im really unsure what i should do, going to stick them on for a week or two and them see what i think then. The are alot nicer than standard though !

Have to say after a couple of runs carefully with new front pads having 17\'s on the rx7 are a great way to go. It feels more "on rails" than before and that was hard to beat !

They have sat down really nice and i\'m still really unsure on which way to go. TBH gold and black just arn\'t my cup of tea. it can only be silver or white.

Cheers for all the views

A bit rough but it should give you a fair idea what they will look like!
