Difference between light and re-enforced FD wheels
I am attempting to sell a set of two FD wheels with M/T drag tires on them. One potential buyer is asking me if they are the light weight or the re-enforced version of the FD wheels.
They came off of a late build 94. Are there any markings or visual differences that I could use to decipher which version I have?

I believe only the '93s had the light weight wheels - they changed that in '94 when they saw the cracking problems.

I know this is an old thread but at least I'm searching and not starting a new thread.
Does anyone have any verification that the quoted statement is 100% true? And how common is this cracking problem?

My FD was built in 1992 (I bought it new in March 1993) and it came with the "reinforced" wheels. After I damaged one late in 1993, the "new" replacement wheel was a "lightweight" one. I'm more inclined to think that Mazda had two interchangable sources for wheels.

Geez. I was off by a year - I meant it was built in 1991, and I bought it in March 1992.

Personally I don't think it's a very big deal - just inspect them carefully before buying and always inspect them.

Considering that the backside appearance is quite different, that, in itself, would have caused some complaints, I'm sure, if they did mix them on any one car.
