What rims should i choose for trackuse
I have a -95 rx7 with most other mods done for trackuse, but what lightweight rims are avalible for a resonable price? 17-18/ 10" wide?
Im not going to spend 10-20k for rims to a car which value is barely the same.. So please hit me with suggestions!

welcome to the board. 
what about Volk or Enkei? if/when i have a track car, that's what i plan to use.
that said, i usually don't ask, but this is a case where it might be helpful to actually post a dollar range that you're looking to limit yourself to. "reasonable price" is a little too open to interpretation.

Well, i dont really have a pricerange as i dont have a clue what good enough/light enough/look good enough rims cost.. Money is not really a problem but i really hate wasting them... And thank u for your response! Can u give me specific rims and how many kg/lbs they are, i think i want 18/10 as i can buy cheap slicks in that size..

well, i certainly don't have that information off the top of my head.
i don't know where these people get their information or how accurate it is, but it seems like a pretty decent one-stop shopping for data (which is perhaps reason to be skeptical). find wheels that interest you and look up the specs on the site.
Measurespeed
for the wheels themselves, www.tirerack.com, has a decent selection, so i think it's a good place to start.

I use 18x11 +45 Forgestar F14 with 295/30-18 Ventus TD or R888 on rolled fender FD.
Have to use 1/2" shorter swaybar tube in Speedway style swaybar for full steering lock.
Wheel is 22lbs ~ $1,500 set.
Forgestar can do custom offsets- I recommend the +45 offset even if you go with 10" wide.

Just toss this out...while the stock wheels are only 16 X 8, they are light and strong. A lot of guys that just track or autox on weekends mount R compounds in 245s to them.
FWIW, light, strong and good value IMHO are Enkeis. In 17" you can get 17 x 9 +48 with 255s square with no fender rolling. Not sure there is any advantages, but possibly disadvantages going to taller wheels.

Probably early production 93s. Hard to imagine any of those are still out there. Later versions were reinforced. OP has a 95 so it shouldn't be an issue. In fact I've heard many DSM owners will use them.

Enkei RPF1's are your best bang for your buck motorsports wheel. They're light, strong, and affordable. Tried and true, really. I'm not a huge fan of the styling, but I'm the idiot that puts too big, too chrome wheels on everything.
