A set of those wheels? That picture is gigantic.

 

wow that is a huge pic. IDk how i feel about those wheels they are cool cuz of the idea behind them but would never go on a car i own

 

I agree they would look cool hanging on a wall but as far as styling goes they look heavy and kinda ugly. Anyone besides a rotor head would not appreciate the rims and would probally make fun of them. (not that I really care...)

 

i wouldnt ever want a set but i think they're kind of groovy.

 

yeah i have a friend that put a rotor on the back windshield and people ask him all the time apparently "wtf is that a space ship?" kinda funny if you ask me. but i don't expect anything less from people. sorry back on topic

 

cant get the pic to work, anyone care to resize and post it?

 

rice

 

*curbstomps you*

 

Here is a smaller version of the pic:

 

um yea..im shlowww

 

The last set I saw on Ebay went for about $500. That costs more then the car itself.

How are they rice? The were obviously made for that car in general.

 

I already have a set of those.... I like them because they are ugly.

 

Yeah, I wouldn't mind having a set of those wheels. They would match my air cleaner top.
But, due to the average asking price when a set is offered for sale, I guess I will just stick with the Ronal's I have on it now.

 

I'm not saying they are rice however take into consideration they have no functional purpose other than aesthetics. They are anovelty nothing else. They probably weigh a ton (IDK for sure though) they will not let much air into the brakes they cost quite a bit for what looks to be a 15 or 16 (again IDK for sure). maybe rice isnt the right word but it is the closest to the right word

 

Nope you dont know what your talking about those wheels came in 13's only and are very hard to find now. Back in the day those wheels were on many of the then old school cars ei: rx2,rx3's and I even saw them on datsuns back then. The last set I saw went for over $700. on ebay!

 

I don't think they were even really available here in the states. Ian knows more about these than myself.

 

I thought custom wheels had 2 primary reasons for being added to a car.
1 looks
2 different tire size choices

These are not really "Custom" wheels, as they were actually an optional stock wheel in certain parts of the world. As such, number 2 is nullified. Making number 1 that much more important. And the looks of these are certainly unique, as unique as the engines themselves.

 

i remember wanting a set of those wheels so bad when i was younger. i guess if i had money now, i'd still get some, but it would only be for the sake of having them. they've lost their natural appeal to me now.

and no ... they were never "officially" in the US.

 

I kinda like the rotor wheels. Unique being the key to my likeness. I just like unique things...that's why I drive my 7.

 

i have a friend with those rims...he's getting ready to polish them and they might be for sale shortly....4 rims plus the spare tire with the same rim...totalling 5 rotor rims.....also they are Japan only rims....his RX-7 was straight imported from Japan....it still has the right hand steering wheel.....ill try to get pics for everyone....later...parker

 

They were available in Europe and South America along with Japan. My parts car came from Germany that had the wheels.

 

Im looking for rotor rims for my Rx2 project,If any one wants to sell them to me ,Please let me know,I will take them in any shape

 

lol...i guess it's an island thing being latin and and from puerto rico those are like gold over there...And i for one would not have a problem rocking them...those rims are sick...
Those rims were not manufactured here in the states they were made out of japan and imported in...I also think puerto rico and ausi were making them as well...
but yes those rims rock and are one of a kind...wish i had a pair...

 

I 1st saw "rotor" rims in P.R,I was 10years old,There is were I got the "fever" for rotarys,Its burned in my memory I was going to the movies with my cousin to see commando(1985)& I heard the strangest,loudest most beautiful thing & i asked my cuz what is that?He said with a big smile "cuatro puente" -It was a a brand new car at that time-(1985)light blue ,targa top,rotor rims,kelley charger white letter tires,12A 4 bridgey,webers,header&bronze clutch,lowered, Real clean,I always wanted those rims after that,They will go on my '73 Rx2 project,do they still sell kelley chargers?
