Best aftermarket rims for 1st gen

I'm looking for some aftermarket rims for my 1st gen rx7. They must be lighter than stock with the same rim size please. Any ideas?

I got a set of old (dont laugh) American Racing 13" 5 stars on mine, and they hit my fender on hard bumps. How the hell you get 17" s on there? Or maybe its just the offset of the 13's I have make em stick out to far toward the fender?

The fronts went on easier than the back!!

The rear guards had to be lipped a bit, but the fronts are fine!!

Just the right offset I guess

Hey,he just gave his opinion,just like you did,with the only difference being the rim size was bigger then the guy was originally asking for.
You dont need to spew just cause he (basically) said that the Panasport rims are ****.

Ausi Guy #1 Im not your mate!

Ausi Guy #2 Its none of your bussiness find your own discusion, or did Ausi Guy #1 need some help. Oh and did you forget to read the original post too ? He asked about 13s'.
You two guys are giving your country a bad name, Plus you guys are way to stuck up. MPO Get down to earth! And im sorry that you have inferiority complexes. or (Terrier Sindrome) to have to slam others to make your egos bigger than they already are.

Talk to you soon.....

Here it is dick....

1. Its AUSSIE, not Ausi.
2. We are giving our country a bad name? How so? Your the one that got on here and attacked me.
3. Why are we stuck up??
4. Inferiority complexes? Terrier Sydnrome?? Did you just read a book or something? Where are you getting this garbabge? You seem to have some kind of complex whereby you verbally attack anyone that does not share your opinion!
5. Who slammed who?? He asked about rims, yes he mentioned 13s, and I suggested something different. My rims set my car off and I would tell anyone else to do the same!

Jesus, whats your ******* problem??

pfft...where you going?? Remember this line?, Could this be an insult?

FR17s baybee!

Read your post again and ask yourself who insulted who first,
Ausi or Aussie whatever you got the point

You are a veteran of this forum you have the opertunity to set an example, and unfortunatly you are setting a bad one, And now you have put me in the same spot.

Also the forum rules are clear No Foul lanquage is that the best you can do is to cuss at me? come on.

This is getting old, Ill leave you to finish this discustion on your own....
