15x7 Panasports


After SE suspension swap, Bronze painted SE wheels

I had it custom made from OEM parts. That is a real T-II hood scoop mated to a steel first gen hood.

They look beautiful!!!

Does anyone use those, hmmmmmm, I think they are called "hub centric rings"? I seem to remember my old ssr exc mesh having them back when I was in high school. I don't know if it's needed or not with my new wheels but I guess it might be a good idea. I think its supposed to center the wheels on the hub as opposed to the studs doing it right?

are you talking about the lug nuts that have the studs in them as apposed the hub having the studs? My Riken's needs them as well and I'm missing one, any clue where I can find some???

No, I'm talking about one usually aluminum ring that you tap into the middle of the rear of the wheel. When you put the wheel on the hub, it centers it instead of relying on your studs to center it.

As far as your lug nuts with the studs, you can get them off of any first gen in the junk yard.

The 1st pic are Team Dynamics 17x7s with the old 110 bolt pattern.



Then we have my favorite SSR xr-4 Longchamps Mine are 14x7s and 8s w/195/45/14 proxies. The offset is somewhere in the negative. I hope to get more pics up soon. still working on the suspension swap.

watch these short clips (courtesy of rotarx7) during the LA 7stock caravan, featuring a handsome RX-3 and its owner/driver. but thats not what you need to watch.

I'm running 15x8 deep dish centerlock epsilons with 4.75 backspace. this is a proof that deep dish rims will your car stand out. enjoy
