15" rims
I am getting a little discouraged about 13" tire availability. 15" seems to be very plentiful and cheap.
Is this too big of a rim for our car?
What's the easiest way going about getting 15" rims for a 4x110 bolt pattern? Or just switch pattern?

Konig makes wheels that are 4x110 and look great, they are called Rewinds. They are a knockoff
of Panasports. A 15" wheel with the right offset works great. You just need to size the tire right,
205/50 or 205/55 should be close to the size needed. You may be able to go a bit wider but in
the front theres not much room unless you start changing things.

This is great news as I wanted to run the 110 bolt pattern a little longer before I did the fc cross member swap.
How do the konig hold up to track use? Would these rims bend easily?

Not sure about track use but I drove with them pretty hard for 3 years and never had trouble with them. They are heavier than the real panasports but give you a much better tire selection . If you are planning to swap eventually the konigs would be a good fix And could easily resell when the time comes

Anything Else
Rewinds are knock offs of Panasport which are knock offs of Minilites. I love these wheels on MGs, Triumphs and Healeys. Great looking wheel but to me too "British" for the 1st Gen RX7. The newer design wheels look too flimsy, not enough metal.
THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION. IT IS NOT MEANT TO INSULT ANYONE!
Is there anything else in a 14" or 15" that looks more like the spider web "meshies" of the 1979/1980?

Rotaryjunkee you will have some rubbing issues with 15x8 zero offset.
I run the same size with a 205/50 tire and I had to roll the fenders to get them to clear, and that's with B+G springs. Rolled them and they are fine now.

I have 15" Konig rewinds on my 81 FB. no fitment / rubbing issues at all. I love the panasport look but without the price.. a little on the heavier side though. I have some sticky tires on them now and they grip like crazy.

Im assuming with your springs, it lowered your car a little?

Try Weds Autobahn mesh, BBS RS, Epsilon Southern Ways Mesh or Enkei 92 if you like that sort of stuff. Each one of those wheels have a knockoff version as well.

a lot of JDM wheels yet and lots of folks found and ran the british wheels on their
240/260/280Zs/RX7s/Celicas etc for want of a 15" wider wheel. So I don't see a
problem using them. Of course the older 4x110 meshies mentioned would be nice
but you can't get them new in 4x110, so you end up having to refurb them or have
them refurbed.
