I'm running 205/50R16s. There's no rubbing, but clearance is tight. Because of the square shoulders of the low profiles I'd recommend against 215 in front.

That is a great looking 7 Manntis!!!
I had those same wheels on my GSL but at the time had the SE suspension under it. I had 16x7s, 205/50-16s(or was it 205/45-16s?). The car had the RB 1" lower springs on it and it only rubbed in a hard turn hitting a bump.
Oh yah, the fenders are flared and I am in the process of cutting them and adding flares to the flared fenders!!! The car is very low!!!! My driveway has an incline to it and the car drags going into the garage. My car hauler is dove tail with extended ramps and hollow in the center so the exhaust wont rub!!!

I don't know, i like my 15 inch Team Dynamics, they're not the lightest, but they're not dead weights.

I'll try and get a decent shot of the wheels.

i like the look of rx7gsl-se's picture with them rims, it looks nice...i think that 16's look the best on the car itself, but i think that for drag i would use the 13's stock rims, but thats just my opinion

You can always change them back, and get some wheels to drive on that are more comfortable, more attractive and provide better performance. 
THat's the beauty of wheels. You can change them around and it's no biggie to return to stock if you want to.

What do you guys think about these? They are 15x6.5. I dig the BBS or Split spoke look. The kosis look alright, but these seem better.
I couldnt find any info on these. Sport edition Fox 5. Are they a good value, or just cheap?

I looked freakin everywhere for days trying to find a manufacturer's web site, but to no avail. They look like they could be custom drilled, if you could find the manufacturer. If you do, let me know.
