In 10 years your car will be worth 10k,what was achieved by not driving the crap out of it,50K to 10K...but only driven on nice days

and yet I will still own the car...........so it's resale value is irrelevant to me

Very much doubt that, my friend's kid still has my 90 RX-7 GXL with 280K miles on it. I drove that through seven winters. Also going by your math, basically most cars older than 2002 are rustbox? Maybe you guys get super salt that we don't get here

some pics with the spacers and wheels installed

gbrettin · 11-21-2012, 05:38 PM

Spacers helped A LOT.

XwChriswX · 11-22-2012, 10:43 PM

What size spacers? 20mm I'm guessing? Front and rear or just rear?

Drex · 11-23-2012, 12:45 AM

25mm rear only

Cool thanks! And just curious cause I went with a different wheel, but were those 40mm offset as well?

Damn that looks good! You could've probably picked up some 09-12 Sport Rays and made those your winter wheels as well.

The Rays wouldn't really make any sense as winter wheels. 19" snows are expensive and 9 and 10" are going to be wider than you'd want for a winter tire.

Focal X-FF Black Painted

Reminds me of a TE37.
