Someone else can get the rest...
EDIT: Is your car a GSL-SE? It's not in your profile. Makes a big difference. Later.

Half the 7's in Australia run 17's. I've even seen a couple with 18's.
Personally I'm going with 17's (one day), as it looks the best by far.
Max7's car looks very nice.
1st Gen with 18's
Linked because it's a big pic.

Simmons FR17s. 17x7 front and 17x8 rear.

Anyway, the gold FR17's are exactly what I'm aiming for with my car. I think they look really good on a white 7. Of course your car looks awesome too Steve.

The offset on the Simmons is whatever you want. They'll make them to fit your car. And seeing as they are by far the most common aftermarket wheel on early rotaries in Australia they can do it easily.
They are pretty expensive though, I was quoted Aus$3200 for 4 17x7 with tyres, but shipping to the states would be a killa. There are some distributors over there though, but from I've read they tend to be very expensive anyway.

Yeah they make the rims in any stud pattern and offset you want!
The prices on these rims have dropped heaps! I payed $3200AUS for mine with tyres 2 and a half years ago, but a mate recently got a set of 18s for his 1st gen for the same price!
Zulu - Its only a 3.5 inch tip
