^^^ that's the same weight as the steelies I just took off my car.
|
I am looking at 1 of these possibly, but not sure if I want to get into 17s or not.. 15s not really interested.. 16s or 17s

If only those wheels were available in 4x110. T.T
|
The stock waffle and plus wheels are only 12# but they are only 13" in diameter.
Not sure 16 or 17 will look very good with the 1st gen, too much wheel but its your car and choice. |
16 or 17 are fine for posing but when you look at the tire choices available 15 is the only answer for performance.
|
You know you are a 1st gen owner when you start to think anything bigger than a 15" wheel is too big.
Either way, The reason Konig rewinds do well is they are 14.5 lbs on a 15x7 rim. Which is pretty good when it comes to weight. I tried some steelies for a short time and boy, I have never felt rim weight like I did on this car or on a miata. |

What options are out there besides panasports for aftermarket wheels on an FB(stock size)? Something with not too many spokes like epsilons either.

How in the actual F could you not like Epsilons? I just refinished mine and they're undeniably beautiful on an FB.

https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...cb70eb2114.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...212199814b.jpg There's plenty of wheel post on here. Sky's the limit though. I have a FC subframe with 5x114.3 I think my 16" CCW LM20s look wonderful on the 1st gen. My car isn't slammed though. 16s are the biggest I would go. Anything bigger is definitely funny looking. There's a few good summer tire choices in 16" now. I'll be going with those SSR Formula Mesh with Bridgestone Potenza RE-11s soon. |

A late Christmas present to myself! 14x6.5 SSR Longchamps. The eBay auction listed offset as +5 but I haven't bothered measuring. With custom replica centre caps made from a solid plastic material as the proper ones are near impossible to find. Nice acrylic stickers with them also.:):)

Just got Konig Rewinds installed. 15X7 with 195/50/15. Car has RB springs. Zero clearance issues.

Car looks great! What was the offset on your Rewinds?
|
Not sure; got them thru CarID. They did not specify offset but fitness was promised by them. I got 4 rims, 4 tires, mounted/balanced, install kit (new lug bolts and center caps) and shipping to my door for $750. Rim were 15x7, 4x110 pattern with 73.1mm hub and tires were Dunlop 195/50R15 V rated tires.

^^ Your rims are 0 offset.

I'm about to put 15x7 Rewinds +20 offset on mine, with 205/50R15's. I have RB springs. There's contradictory info on the site as to whether they will fit. I don't want to dial back the tire size if I don't have to...

and run -1 deg of camber and had to roll the fender lips a bit to clear the very outside edge of the tires (DUNLOPs). It may vary by tire as well. You may have no issues. I actually never noticed an issue until I started pushing the car very hard at DGRR, so in light street driving it probably will never be an issue. |

It will depend on your camber and springs up front. I have my RB cut down by 1 coil

Hey,
I did a alot of research into rims for my FB. If you are willing to pay the $$$ (which I was not) you can buy blank rims and get them drilled to the correct bolt pattern (4*110). Several companies (Rota being one) will offer blank rims or custom orders for bolt patterns if you call them. As an example (Maxxim are made by Konig). $980 Australian Dollars on Ebay: 15" MAXXIM OLD SCHOOL WHEELS suit MAZDA RX, NISSAN DATSUN, TOYOTA /ESCORT/BMW | eBay https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...cc3561aa7a.jpg |

You can find two different style Rota rims on Amazon that are perfect fit for SA/FB. Here are my 15x7 with 205/50R15 Yokohama S.Drive.

https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...aa99d1e712.jpg Picked these up off a 81 Datsun 280zx, only year they made them I guess. They're 15x6 and hopefully fit with a 205 50 15 |
I like those... Wish they came in 110X4
