bbs wheels on a 1st gen miata???
hey guys... I was on the junkyard today and i found 2 1st gen rx-7s. I saw one that had 14 inch BBS wheels with a 2inch or so lip. These wheels looked awesome but I did nto know how wide they are or how much they weight. The do look just like the BBS wheels on the 2nd gen rx-7s except for being 4 lug. and they had the mazda emblem on the middle. The guy wants 25 for each but one has a big fat dent. any info on these wheels?

Need pics but I doubt they are BBS if they have the Mazda emblem on them. Most likely wheels from the coveted LE model. The 3 that are in good shape would be worth it, and possibly the dented one if it can be fixed. $25/piece isn't bad.

The reason people want those 1983 LE wheels is that they are a reasonable compromise, being 14 inch, and they are very light weight. I have a set on one of my FBs. A price of $50 or less is a good price per wheel if they are in good condition.
I also have a set of the 15 inch BBS alloys from a 1990 convertible on my other car. Those are 15 inch and are, I believe, lighter weight than any street legal wheel you can buy that is 15 inches or larger.
A 1st gen definitely looks better with something larger than 13 inch wheels, though I personally think 15 inches is big enough.
