THIS.

The way I used to check if wheels would look good on a car was I would obtain a picture of the wheel via magazine or print it off and cut it out, take it outside and hold it at arms length. With one eye closed it worked well enough to help me decide.

This was before photoshop, And I still cant do that shit.

After typing all that it seems more of a pain in the ass than it's worth.

I dont care for the konigs. The dr20 are super light for a 15x7, dont know about the konigs, but the lighter the wheel tire combanation the better the feal. The smaller the combo the quicker the car. Datsuns with little 13s feal like they have twice as much power.

if your car is in Texas, now understand why it takes a long time to get updates.

vice-grips ? is there a story or a joke involved here ? Please tell me or us.

IIRC he had a some vice-grips holding something together. I can't remember what it was but I remember them being on the passenger side of the engine between the fender well and block.

That is Datsunfreaks 1200 (maybe not actually his but he posted a pic with it in it). It's the one I made a comment about in the "cool car but not a Datsun" thread on Ratsun a couple days ago. That sure looks like Keith's 210. It has a NWD sticker on the back side windows.

I saw all the 1200s and first thought it was at Doug's place. Zoomed the photo to see the Texas plate on the white coupe. I'm sure Keith loves all the speculation. If he really wanted to fuck with us, the next pic he drops would have the car photoshopped in front of Radio's garage.

It is indeed. Except for the wheels.

You can see the 1200 & 620 in that pic. Along with that reddish chunk of car ass end on the left. Which is beside the 210 in Keith's pic.
