Simmons are made here in Australia. You could probably order some direct from Simmons and get them shipped over.

I said I liked the rims, the car is not my style.

I just think those gold rims or some weds would look absolutely BITCHEN on Mojo.

Yeah I remember thinking you didn't pay that damn much for yours, and they are 17's. Dammit, I will get some of those one day, my Panasports will have to do for now.

Hi guys, the Purpal RX-7 is ours, the plates are BTCHN7, the Green RX-7 posted below it was a mates befor it got stolen.

The wheels are 16x7 and 16x8 Simmons, the pattern name is 'OM'.
Simmons are one of your best options as they can be made to any offset, width etc and stud pattern. We had ours made to fill out the bolt on flares for the racer look.

They do seem to be a bloody lot cheaper in OZ than NZ too. Freight, markup and the NZ distributors exspensive see to that.

We payed $3300 with tyres for them.

I see once again the styling of our car has ruffled a few feathers. Its all good.
A few people don't like the wing but like the rest of it. I love the wing, yet some angles make it look realy weird, as u have noticed.

The wheel flares are available through myself at about NZ$250+freight. In case you are wandering, the front spoiler is a Group 'C' item about NZ$450+Freight
Check out the photo album if you want to see other angles of the car. Oh, it now has a 4/71 supercharger sticking out the bonnet, will post pics soon.

I'd go Panasports powdercoated the body color if I didn't already have the TSW Blades. I think you can still get them through TSW, but they are not listed on their site.

Hey man, I still love your car...Yours is the only reason I even considered putting a wing on mine, I just dont know if it will look as good as it does on your car...Plus I love those wheels, except I might have them powder coated white to match my car, but other than that, I love that car .

Oh, and my favorite rims on an RX-7 would have to be (in no particular order)

1. Kosei K-1
2. ROH Snyper
3. V8Kilr's Weds (dont know if all Weds look like that)
4. Panasports
5. Konig Imagine (-SE though )

Roh snypers may not be available. I tried to order them a couple weeks ago and they said they were out of stock and wouldnt get any for at least 4 months, if at all.

also kosie went out of business a month ago, and tire rack is back ordered on them, I ordered mine just in time and I will be getting them in late august.

I know they arent the best looking, but I plan on getting some Circle Racing 13x7's. I think they look better than stock, and only weigh 8.6lbs. There is a set up on ebay now with some used Kumo Victo Racer's on them. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1846372900 Too bad I dont have any $$$ now
