my personal fav's are the stock mazda rims, i dont have a pic but i have seen many of them and i have them on one of my 7's. they look great when cleaned off and shined up, but ya like T.J said they do look interesting... little bit wider tires would spruce em up a bit.

Yeah, as 680 said, they're from the late 70's-early 80's made by Western Wheels.

Yep, I've seen those. Some guy I talked to many, many, many years ago had them on his 1st gen and in between the fins were panted black. I offered to buy them from him and he agreed but never got his # and aint seen him since. I had just bought my 3 and thought they'd look good on it.

Looks like a wheel from a company called Western Wheels.

This link has a picture of another model wheel but the logo is clearly shown confirming the manufacturer...
