yeah im liking the mesh

 

im with everyone, messie's, panna's, an omg someone said simmons i luv the fr18's best lookin wheel ever for the old school rx's, if u've seen the aussie scene u know wha im talkin bout, i just bought myslef these rims actually for my 1st gen, thinkin bout painting them bronze with the chrome lip on my white 1st gen or my gunmetal 1st gen, havent decided which one they're goin on yet lol

 

here's my 7 with 18X8 rims W/215-35-18 tires, Eibach coilover springs and ReSpeed Big brake kit, TT2 hubs,calipers and 12.5 drilled/slotted rotors

 

I went with a 16 x 7 wheel. Reduced the speed of a standing start though. I like the look. Old car with some modern influences. JMO.

 

Performance Challengers are great value for money. They are very light and look the goods.

 

x3!

Though I don't have any pictures of them right now. I'm actually thinking of selling my set of five in a few weeks/months. I wonder what they'd go for?

As for my pick, I've got a set of 13x7 Revolutions coming that I think will look pimp.

 

Damn. I love the way your car looks.........

 

What rotors are they and what bolt pattern is that? Did you redrill the rotors?
I am looking to put on my respeed big brake kit as well but want to keep the 4x114.3 pattern since I have a set of 16" panasports and a set of 15" mesh.

 

Yes I redrilled the TT2rotors from 5X114 to 4X114.3 so i could keep the Gls-se bolt Pattern

 

sometime next week. I will be out of town this weekend.

 

Thanks, I might do the same and run my 16" panasports. Do you think the 15" mesh rims will clear the caliper and rotor? If not I will just sell them.
Thanks

 

For $50, you can get a half assed set of stock+ wheels and you don't want to know what it would cost you if I powdercoated a set of them for you.[/QUOTE]

Actually, I'd like to know what it would cost to have you powdercoat the + style wheels.

 

I'm surprised no one said these..... 1983 Limited Edition Wheels 14"...mine are on 205/60R Falkens






These rims FTW!!!

 

RAYS!

 

actually..theyre WORKS

 

17x7 40mm offset, lowered

BSA Racing wheels





16x7.5 38mm offset stock height (sagging)

Momo Arrows

 

I still say stock wheels look best on a first gen:




Ray

 

Centerline IMSA wheels, 15x8, 4x110, 205/50-15 Falken Azenis










They're for sale, too! $1800 with tires, shipped.

 

15" rims will clear the 4-pot calipers. They are the same size as what came on the 2nd gen GXLs, which had 15" rims. The only thing you may need to check for clearence is backspacing.

PM me for that.

 

Pics of my Revolutions:



They'll be here just before the end of the month (crosses fingers)

 

I have to agree with you on the LE's... working on a set of my own this weekend... will post pics when done polishing & painting!

(here's the mock-up pics before polish 'n paint....

 

Wrox Ewing Fins and Rays Super Fins are similr and pure SEX!!

 

If I were to ever upgrade my rims, IF, I would get low profile rims.


but im not rich, and I will probally never get rid of anything. lol

 

IMHO...
I LOVE the old school look for the 1st Gen so the only 2 choices would be Panasports or Meshies......
Some of the New wheels look real good BUT you still can't beat the OL' Scool...
L8R

 

I'm in favor of Panasports, as soon as I get my car restored to 100% stock condition, I'm going to start with some suspension upgrading and a set of gold panasports (on a OEM Silver car).

Also you might want to check out a set of Work Equip 03's, that was my second choice. Whatever you do, KEEP IT OLD SCHOOL!!!
