Correctomundo! Currency in Puerto Rico: US Dollar (USD)

Kudos to you Jeezus for your searching prowess. ClasificadoOnline is some far out find. Pristine rotor wheels certainly have become a rare precious metal.

Thanks haha. The style is growing on me, but I would never put them on my car,
too precious.

That is way too much, they occasionally show up on ebay for 1/3 of that price. Not often, but if you keep an eye out they do show up, maybe twice a year.

Bryan Jacobs is correct. I keep an eye on them just in case I can pick up a second set on the super cheap. Super cheap being less than 400 and I havent seen it happen yet. OTOH there are knock off rotor wheels I have seen but they dont look very good.

If you REALLY want Id sell you my chrome powdercoated set for 1250... Tires included for an additional fee.

These wheels are mush more common in europe. Why not check in with our Brit buddies at
http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forum...isplay.php?f=8
and put out some feelers? The advertisers there are a lot of service shops that are always breaking RX7s for spares....

I have always found them to be fugly. As much as I love "Rotor" Themes, I have never liked wheels with 3 spokes/points.

The "Rotor Themed Wheels" on the new 2009 RX-8 R3 are okay looking though.
