damn those rims are sexy!!

 

I know right!

(thanks again twinkletoes)

 

You really dont care for your rx7

 

eps

 

Any Simmons wheels here in Oz are good Unfortunately as of June 30th they're no longer making them as the owner retired

 

Kinda rare, but not my favorite. Need something deep dish, probably polished rim with gold 'lace' pattern centres

 

I just searched 8 pages, and didn't see MY wheels on there. They have been sitting outside for many years, and are ready for a refirbish. When they are done, they will be HOT. This pic was taken before I picked it up. It's a lot cleaner now, and I have started to repair the rear quarter that someone kicked in.

What'cha think??

 

Not quite sure about hottest but I love em and I have yet to meet someone who could tell me what they were so if any of ya'll know please let me know

The most I know is the previous owner had a friend who sent them to him from Japan and they are 15x7.5 at 4x114.3, havent quite had a chance to weigh them yet.

 

Have you ever measured the lip on those wheels?

I just picked up some new SSR fins from Japan but the lip is pretty fat. The offset of the wheels is not listed. I bought them knowing that the probably wouldnt fit but I just wanted them incase I got an old schooler that they might fit on.

Anyways, does anyone think these will fit the first gen or is there no way in hell?

 

They're not that rare, but since nobody's mentioned K1's yet...

 

holy **** nice rims!

 

Better side view of my Watanabe RS-Eights. 3 piece. 16s.. 225 rear, 215 front. Fenders rolled and streched. Still dreaming of a set of BBS LeMans though

 

17x10 fronts, 17x12 rears CCW classics 3 piece.

 

Damn that thing looks mean. I hope you post a video of it driving some day.

 

What's the back space and rim width? May be time for a ser of flares. Those are sweet.

 

Are these for your white ride? I remember that being a 12a car right? If so, you might... might, just be able to get away with it with some fender rolling and massaging. But without any specs

Measure them up and post!

I dont know the backspace but they are 15x7. I dont want to run flares because the body is in such good shape, but hmmmm, I might have to consider it, I'm just hoping they might work without flares. thanks, I like em alot.



Hi Bern, They are for my white car but it is in the process of getting converted to gsl-se suspension all around. I already have another set of ssr exc fins for it that I know fit, but the lip is smaller. Those fins don't have the centercaps and plates though. I bought these because these are brand new with centers (and I know I can always sell these to an ae86 guy, these are 4x114.3). I hate to put these new centers on my used wheels but I may not have a choice. I'll keep hunting for centers for my other set in the mean time.

 

I got these in on my GSL, anyone happen to know who makes them? some say Enkei and some say BBS.

 

I'd guess enkie

 

riken

 

i say riken also. nice wheels everyone!

 

The only logos I see on it, is a small M, kinda like the old mazda logo and ava, maybe vav (kinda hard to tell)

 

Ya, the lips are a little over 2 inches wide.

Brand new SSR fins...score! I always wanted Autobahns, SSR fins, or Eps. Where you get them and how much you get them for if you don't mind?

 

cool, I havent measured these lips but they are about the same as yours although my car now has gslse suspension so I think they will stick out just a little more. I'll just have to try them out once I get my front suspension back on my car.

A friend in Japan got them for me. I guess they were sitting in some wheel shop for 20 years from what I was told. Price? Well, lets just say they weren't cheap. I paid more than they went for new.

I still want to pick up a set of Autobahns as clean as yours but that's next to impossible. You really lucked out when you found those wheels.
