    Mine were completely compressed to get those measurements, everyone was saying that is the "industry standard."

    Did you have to replace that seal on the oil cooler? I need a new one and cannot find it anywhere.

          I guess the 15" EGT wheels and tires are an option on this project. What do you think looks the best ?

              partial to the egt wheels. Had a set on my civic for awhile, but they're HEAVY

                      The top photo shows 14" Miata rims with the new Michleins, right?

                      And the lower photo has the Egt 15s?

                      I'd vote for the rims in the lower photo for your flagship Fantastiva. A new set of 45 series tires would be over the top on those.

                      Regarding the remote filter idea; I didn't realize you had a thermostatic cooler set up on there. The filter is going to be a tight fit back there. You could add a remote filter if you have room to locate it AND the oil cooler core. That would be a whole lot of oil at each oil change. I'd guess 7 quarts.

                      I'll post some pics of the remote filter on my sammy (but not today).

                        As a general, which rim do you like the most, the first ones, but the second set of rims look better on your Festy IMO. Either way its gonna look good!
