I picked these up from an RX-3 darg car. 4x110 13x8 on back and 13x7 on front. They have some old slicks on them. The are Ansen Sprint from the 1970's.

I like those Ansen Sprints, real clean look. If they made that in a 4x110 15x7 and they didn't cost a fortune they would definitely be on my list.

Its the weight, the lighter the wheel == the higher cost

I see, Less is More.

But what about the beauty contest? Are Panasports prettier than Rewinds or RB's?

Here is a couple of beauty shots of my REWINDS wrapped with BF Goodrich Gforce KDWS... maybe it will help your decision.

Yep, that works, very nice. That's for sure the back up plan, unless something prettier comes along.

Hey Ray,

Here is one more alternative to consider. I am considering having some custom hubs made for my car to facilitate larger brakes and at the same time reduce my unsprung weight quite a bit, anyway if this happens then I have two really, really nice sets of BBS 15 X 7 20 mm offset 4x 110 wheels that I will not be able to use. Both sets are in like new condtion and would come complete with wheel centers. One set has the original black powder coat finish and I had the other set reconditioned and powdercoated in a metal flake gunmetal color. I like this color better than the black cause the black tends to "disappear" on my white car, the grey/silver ones stand out better. This set would come with a gaurentee to have no runout and be within factory specs. Here is a pic on my car:

Just a thought, if you like the way they look I would give you the family discount.

I happen to have a set of Shakotans on my FB. Hopefully this helps you guys. Just note that the tires are stretched a bit at 195/50/r15 to fit within the fenders.

Nice. 15x7?

ray green 06-26-12 07:45 PM

Yep, you can get those Shakotans on ebay. You guys are making me drool.

I am not a huge fan of the stretched tire look but on the Shakotans they seem so appropiate .. IMO

Ex-Eg-Driver 06-26-12 10:59 PM

Dex speed what suspension are you running. Looks great

Sgt.Stinkfist 06-27-12 12:06 AM

nice Dex ;) I just put my shakotans on today, and my car is also tornado silver... and im also using some 195's. Asides from the fog lights, our cars are twins :O

82transam 06-27-12 08:00 AM

Damn, thats the first time I've seen Shakotans on a FB and I must say they look great. They really suit out cars... Now you guys have me thinking.... lol

rwatson, your car looks awesome as usual! Thats a great picture!

I'm running Racing beat springs all around with Tokico blues. Racing Beat sway bars and quite a bit of urethane. That picture was taken in early spring right after the suspension swap. The car sits about an inch lower now that the suspension has settled.

Redliner223 06-27-12 11:58 AM

dexspeed, can you take a picture head on with your wheels straightened out?
I would just like to see what kind of poke you got going on.

Sure, I'll try and get a picture up for you by Monday at the latest. There is enough poke to make you cautious of your surroundings ;)

Redliner223 06-27-12 12:16 PM

Good to know. Thanks

I'm liking those rims more and more

ray green 06-29-12 07:24 PM

Agreed, those Shakotans go very nicely with a 1st gen.

Some Mazda center caps would seal the deal.

can't believe nobody's posted the Roh Snypers
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...s/SUNP0002.jpg

same wheels as Bad83's car:

ray green 06-30-12 09:13 AM

Those Roh's are nice. Where do you get them? How much?

blackdeath647 06-30-12 09:32 AM

unfortunately i don't think they make this model anymore. I got these off a forum member last year. and there was a couple of ppl selling some not long ago the "wheel and tire" section under the "for sale" always has good deals ;) As far as price, you can find a good set of Roh Snypers wheels and tires for about 600 ish. i drove to New Jersey to get mine for 250...too good of a deal to pass up.
