There are some nice looking 15" rims with the 4x110 bolt pattern, in 6,7,8,9,10" widths. But you'll need to figure out what offset works best with those wide fenders. Is that your car? You can still get Michelin TRX tires if you want to keep it original. Or you could sell the car to me.

Welcome to the club Gregg. That's a very nice write up of the car and even better with the pictures.
I think Panasport wheels (painted or pc white) would look period correct on your car. Mazdatrix sells them. https://www.mazdatrix.com/
Be sure to keep us updated on its arrival! You have a piece of history.

Wow.

We need more info on this car. That is probably the most serious, valuable FB Rx7's in the world. $250K+?!

Congrats. Not sure about wheels and tires however. I feel that all the available 4x110 offerings are not worthy of that car.....

Aloha and thanks.........if I can get a fresh (less than 5 years old) set of TRX's I'll just keep the old ones and mount the new ones on the existing magnesium wheels /.........I'll have to ask the sellers to check the date code before I buy them......

Awesome car, maybe contact a guy in Cali named; on IG as love20bee. He rebuilds vintage wheels, mainly JDM style stuff.

You could look at panasports, konig rewinds or rota's; a little more rounded and less of a gravel look though. You can get 205-50R15's for the 15x7's inexpensively even with summer tires

On a random note, I saved all of the pictures of that car when it was up for auction. Unfortunately they aren't high res. I can send those along if you were unable to get them yourself. Very nice car, congrats, hope it gets driven.
