Like the subject said. I was looking today for rims on Pepboys and Tire Discounter, no luck. The ones I liked is for FWD.

 

Your going to have a hard time finding rims. All 1st gen rx7s Except for the GSL-SE have a Odd bolt pattern which is hard to find rims for. I believe panasport rims are one of the few that fit. Many have upgraded to GSL-SE suspension which has a better bolt pattern along with braking system

 

or if you go to tirerack.com you can get some kosei k1 wheels that will fit the 110 bolt pattern but personally I don't think they look right on a first get rx7

 

I have the Kosies on my 85 aqnd I personally think they look pretty damn good, nowere near as good as panasports, but still look good.
You might be licky enough to find a company that gets wheel blanks, and have the holes drilled for you, just make sure that yoiu get the right offset.

 

I believe that centerline wheels can be ordered with a custom lug pattern. That is what one of the tire/wheel dealership places up here told me. There was one other brand that they told me about also but I can't remember the name.

 

Do an SE conversion, then worry about wheels. The SE package is how all Rx-7's should have come.

 

well, i like the kosei's. they are ok, but i just looked at my old GS that i had painted corvette yellow with panasports and they look good too

 

those look good imo!

 

Thanks for all the answers...........

 

I like the way the kosei's look but I just think the seven looks better with old school rims. That does look nice though.

 

I have the stuff to do the SE conversion, including a nice set of stock wheels, if anyone is interested. I paid $250, but I'll take less. I was thinking about converting my GSL but decided to keep it stock.

I just ordered some 16x7 Panasports, I will take pics after I get them in 6 weeks.

Price= $910 delivered, ouch.

 

wow, yea that's a pocket buster. but they will be NIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!!!!!!!

 

I paid $153 each for the Kosies, and $153 each for the tires. came to around $1300.


But I do agree with rotor vs PIston, if you dont already have wheels, than do the SE swap....
YOu get bigger brakes all around, and a whole **** load more wheel options. I almost wish I had done the swap, but now that I have the wheels its to late.
