Here is the car (painting in process) with some junk 5 star 17" wheel I had in the garage.
I really want some smaller to keep the prices of tires down a bit. Both the above rims come in 15, 16" I might even opt for 15's since the choice for sticky tires seems best for 15" and 17" rims in the size I would need.

Rollin' coal and 53mpg!
How are you going to put some basically "Honda only" wheels on a RX7?
Don't take this as a flame.... I'm just VERY curious, because I am leaning towards the first ones you posted.... but the fact that they are not available in 4x110, it kinda puts a damper on that idea.
Let me know what I gotta do to get thoise wheels!!!

I'd go with the top wheel, just my opinion. Black wheels on a silver car is about the best combo if you ask me! What are the prices of them?

go for the subzeros.... (2nd ones)
Those are almost what I ended up when I was shopping for wheels myself, but I couldn't locate any with a polished lip anymore.. Pretty cool design, but the extra slots around the bolt holes look kinda dumb.

In order of preference:
1. The first ones.
2. The ones on the car.
3. The second ones.
I guess I'm just a sucker for five stars...
Two questions:
1. Do the first ones come with center caps of any sort?
2. What are the 17s that are on your car?

And the rims that are on e car in the pic are some cheap knock-offs of ZIGEN 5ZR COPSE. They weigh a ton.

actualy both the rims he poasted are knockoffs...
1st ones are some spoon Rim, and the second ones are of the RH CP-035's I think...
So what.. lots of companies make knockoffs that doesn't mean they re bad wheels...
In fact if they are Rota's (which I beleive they are) they are light as hell, and you can't beat them for the price...
