I have just purchased my first RX-7...an 83 in super shape (only 92K on it).
I have been doing EXTENSIVE research into after market wheels for the 4x110 bolt pattern. I found this site: www.performancealloys.com. Seems they are one of the largest wheel dealers in the UK and I thought it was strange when I typed in my model, and got a LOT of wheels back as a result. Most wheel sites wont even accept pre-86 Rx-7's as choices in their menus.

So I emailed them and they said they have a lot of rims for sale that have a larger hole...and they use a "special nut" to lock them down. The guy I messaged said their rims fit 4x110 no problem.

Does anyone know anything about this company or has anyone ordered rims from them? If their system of using a 'special nut' is good...then this place is a virtual gold mine for 4/110 rims.

Why not keep the stock wheels, they look better, handle some very inexpensive performance tires and you already own them.

because all the good tires start at 15"


And I will believe this site when somebody actually orders 4x110 wheels from them, and they actually work. There have been a lot of "wheel source" threads, but virturally none of them have fallen through.

get some used wheels!

Those look good, what are they?

I have to disagree. I have 13 X 7.5 with Summittmo Tires on them and they do great.


I have said it before, God told mazda to put 13's on the 7, Mazda did as they were told, who am I to argue with God?

^God also told Mazda to produce the 3rd gen w/ Inefficient cooling systems, resulting in countless problems w/ heat soaking and detenation...

I know Compomotive sells wheels that fit 4x110 cause I have a set of ML's.

God, told mazda to put 14's on mine to make it special, and stand out from the rest!





What tires are you refering too?

Hades12

That was not God, God told told them to make it slick and cool to pull the poon, Devil told them what to do with the engine.

I don't like where this thread is heading

Hades12

It is heading to the same place it always does, We all show off our wheels, make fun of the 18's and never really get anywhere.

I'd like to know what offsets those wheels have....most of those look like they wont fit.

I had a set of wheels like yours back in the day on my *1st gem*They are rare. I know I a guy here in PA with a Rx3 who has a set on his ride and it looks nice!

Hey Jaime...when I talked to one of their sales guys, he said they use a "cup" over the holes. So I guess they could fit a variety of bolt pattern sizes by using different custom cups. Performance Alloys handle a lot of the manufacturers that others have mentioned on this board. But to get 3 pages of wheel possibilities back is very unusual.

I am surprised that there is not more interest in my post...because finding wheels for early rx's is so difficult. I know that this topic has been hashed out a LOT, but this is the first web site that I have found that claims to have a solution...other than replacing the hub with an adapter.

Getting these this weekend, I know there on a FC but to get an idea of the wheels, plus they look nice imo

Then God told the previous owner of my 1984 white FB to buy rims off of an LE and stick them on it so you stop standing out so much (Or so I stand out more). Got to love those rims though. Just have to.

Very nice wheels dude....That is exactly the kind of thing I am looking for to put on my 1st gen. What size of tire?

Thats OK, becuase god told me that the center cap from an RX-8 Goes perfect in the center.

So that way all the others that "Covet Thy Neighbors Goods" Could Eat there hearts out! And once again set myself apart from the rest!

RotaDrift

the wheels on the red first gen aren't that rare. they're just old Z wheels

Hades12

No there not.


I am now having bad thoughts about the 8 here in the parking lot.

Do It, Maybe it wasnt god it was the devil telling me lol!

Rogue_Wulff

Those look like they were made to fit. Is it just me, or is the color just a shade off?
At any rate, I like the looks. Far better looking than having no caps at all.
