Cool!!

Is it a shared garage?

I take it you have to get out of the car and push a button or something and takes awhile to turn

Turntables are a council requirement to prevent cars reversing out (so you don't run someone over). Stupid council is making me put one in.

Regie, please let us know how your fender rolling went! I cringed at the thought of rolling my fenders and walked away from an original Rays set of wheels because the 17x9 +45 sat too far out from the fender line. It was very weird because my 18" Enkei wheels with an offset of +48 fit perfectly under the fender!!! Granted, my 18" are only 7.5" wide.

17x8 +44 Rota Grids in gunmetal, 205/45 tyres. These are my favourite wheel by some margin. Car is also lowered from standard (335 front, 338 rear) on Ohlins DFV's.

nope. +35 is way too much offset. id be going +40 max and that's if the car is lowered

I didn't take many photos of my NC with these wheels on, but here's the only two I could find anyway. Planning to jump back into a NC once the RX-7 goes to a new home, just not in black this time(I've had three black cars now :x ).

Buddy Club P1 SF wheels(17x9 +45) and Junior Spec coilovers.

Hi everyone!

First time posting on this forum.
Recently I was lucky enough to pick up a 2011 NC2, amazing car, so much fun. Iv started some small tweaks with an Eibach pro spring kit and whiteline front swaybar, I found it to have quite a lot of understeer as standard.
Whilst having the suspension fitted I noticed in the corner of the workshop this set of Wantanabes, turned out the owner was keen to get rid of them, I threw them on and fell in love.
Huge fan of this style and colour combo, this photos actually REALLY doesnt do the car justice how it looks now. Im not sure the offset of them but they look so good, I couldnt be happier.

Looking forward to many years of happy top down driving!

Unknown offset. 16x8 rear running 215 55s, 16x7 front running 195 55s
