Watanabe RS-8 wheels/ Advan Neova tires
Front: 16x7.5 +20 offset, 205/45-16
Rear: 16x8 +25 offset, 225/45-16
Expect to spend at least $2000 for a set of those. I don't think that offset/width would stick out that much on a regular 1st gen set-up, but it looks like they may be using 3rd gen brakes/hubs, or just spacers like Carl said.

Does anyone have the team dynamics from good-win-racing and have a picture of the wheels on the car? I thought about picking up a set but I can't find anyone with them? P.S. Woodonastick's doesn't count, I want to know the how the offset on the goodwin's fit (sorry peter!)

Kosei K-1's Racing Rims w/Yokohama YK420 P205/50R-15 Tires mounted on them.
Add 20-30 miles per hour on the Curves and I still don't lose it.
But I have spent a small fortune on the Suspension.
The good about these Rims are only 12lbs ea.
The bad No one seems to offer Caps for them.
4x110
And good luck finding these rims anymore.
There are still some good looking proforeming rims out there as seen from previous post it's just the personal prefference which makes us 1st Gen owners so unquie.
Sorry about the Sat Morning Hungover Spelling!!!!

I like the Konig Rewinds too. Definitely not the highest priced rims on the market but after seeing the pictures onlyonthurs posted showing them on his white RX, I couldn't resist.

Mesh...
Epsilon, SSR, or Wed Autobahns
I bought the silver FB for the SSRs, and it came with the ugly fake scoop that removed immediately. They will replace the 15" Epsilons that where on the SA years ago.

The Best part of this thread it gives us an Idea what we all like and not like & keeps us thinking again=(What If).
Good to see this kind of Post coming back once in awhile since most 1st Gen owners are never happy. I state loosely Most.
Great Looking RX's Everyone...
I know personally that I have to tell myself -Enough is Enough.
Butt you all know that doesn't last long.
Happy Rotorying and keep an open mind.

How about the old school rotor rims? Does anyone remember those?? Mostly seen them on Rx-3's but seen a few SA's with them. Thos are my rim of choice for a first gen. I wish I still had pics of them.
