A wheel can't be rare if it's just a rip-off/replica of a higher quality wheel. Not necessarily knocking Rota's since I have a set of RB's, but any Rota is far from rare.

I'm considering it rare because I haven't seen anyone with them yet. Once people actually start using them, then your right. It's a knock off Rota and it's pretty common.
Although, any new wheel in 4x110 is pretty rare.

these might be rare?
OK, I brought up Rota on page 25 and introduced it into the thread. I thought this thread was hottest wheels, but apparently it needs to be both rare AND the hottest wheel. Once again, I will apologize to the rotary elite.
So, back to wheel discussion please!

Volt Racing Wheels
I think these looked pretty nice on my wife's 1985 Mazda RX7 GSL-SE!!! 18" Volt Racing 753 in Silver Machined with Cooper ZEON ZPT 215/40/18 tires. Wow what a RUSH it was to drive that BEAST 
Then I went back to the OLD SCHOOL!!! Freshly painted, and re-polished lips. It Never Fails, thanks to Carl who got me into Enkie Meshies 8)

Well, used to run watanabes rs8.. 16*8 and 16*8,5 rears.. Street legal tires, but beeing 16 inch, i had to run 50 profile.. Still low though, and did not rub BTW..
Then, i decided to go a different route, and custom order out a set of Image Wheels.. Custom gold with plack perimeter bolts and polished lip. 17*8 up front and 17*9 rears. All with 240/640 Yokohama slick tires.. Had to do a lot of massage to the fenders, but it will fit!
And yes, its 5 lug wheels, due to the TII conversion..

Can you please share your wheel offset/backspace specs? On your TII conversion, is this a whole FC subframe or a hub kit? Congrats on the ride!

TII conversion is ReSpeed, front and rear. ET 20 up front, and ET 29 rear Had to do a LOT of massaging, as the car sits a little bit lower than on the picture. ReSpeed coilovers..

Hello, i need some help with rim sizes.
Stoch on my '84 fb is:
5.5J/ET 45/4x114.3/205 60 14 (europe) is this the same on us?
now i want to place this: 7,0x16/4x114,3/ET40
tire size 205/50/205
my fb is stock, is the offset a problem? or will this fit on my fb.
i believe the wheel will come 2.45mm to the outsite?
also 0.98 in hight?
Thanks.
