Hella flush with baller wheels I think is the best way to explain it. It will still be a weekend scca car and a daily driven baller car lol


Oh I think I see what you're saying now. So you want a track/baller car LOL.

It probably is pushing roughly an extra 250lbs worth of bling, stereo, and bullshit. I bet it's slower than a stock FD.


Oh I think it looks like crap, but did you read the article about why they did the things they did? How their culture is tied into it? THAT is the part I can appreciate. Although I wouldn't put a lift kit and mudding tires on mine just because that's my culture LOL.

Another thing I thought was kinda :huh: But I guess if they're not tracking it or driving it much it doesn't make too much of a difference.

Those are VIP style? LOL

Work Meisters = the best wheels made...ever.

If I cold afford a set, they would be on my FD in a heartbeat. Literally, if I won the lottery- first purchase? A set of Work Meisters.

Then a new R35 GT-R that would be dropped off at AMS for their full catalog, LOL.

i know theyre not vip i but they look good. very aggressive stance and i can use them for daily and weekend scca. i have a set of JIC magic coilovers to be put in and now im looking for some tires. right now im leaning towards some 245 40 17 all around stretched federal tires for fitment and the hella flush look. im looking to spend about 500 on just tires so any suggestions?

Dammit Ian, I love that wheel hahaha. And I JUST put in my deposit for the new wheels LOL. That's alright though, I could get those wheels for my TII and be just like you LOL. Those Saleen wheels look almost identical to the ones Dillon had on his FD. I had looked at Mustang wheels before, but they were GT500 wheels or something, it wasn't stock looking by any means. Those Saleens will look ballin on the 7 though, probably any generation 7 too. It's a basic but VERY clean look. And of course you gotta love the lip too. Great all around. Good find!

Work Meisters are classic indeed, but also very played. At least for FDs they are. I was actually going to get a set of them several months ago (if I'd had the money haha), but then I saw so many FDs with them. If I got anything like those though I'd get the SSR Professor SP1, exact same wheel it seems, I just like the Professor a bit more.

Next purchase after winning the lottery...
-Spirit R FD
-newest Norton Rotary motorcycle (don't remember the exact name)
-all old rotary cars, trucks, buses, whatever I could get my hands on
-Ariel Atom
-big piece of land with a huge garage for everything, and huge house

The R35 is growing on me, and it's very capable, but it's a huge pig still. I'll take a one-layer frame of metal and open chassis around me that way if I get in an accident it's over quickly LOL.

Damn, I really just bogarted this thread lol. Sorry Ian. You should post up your post-lottery win purchases too lol.

Dillon has a Montego Blue that he is currently trying to sell, or maybe he sold it already, his sn is Ranger on this forum.

DAMN! I forgot the Furai. Yeah I'd definitely get one of those too, if I could get my hands on one haha. I'd buy all of Mazda just to get that car haha.

I think it might be the NRV588, yeah. Something like that. Zico showed me the video on youtube several months ago. It was the only bike on the track that was visibly smoking LOL. It was also smoking everything else on the track, so again, it shows that it's a rotary lol.
