I don't know how much they're worth.

Yes that's WT, pics taken last summer before the car got rusty. (That's just superficial rust that doesn't bother me) BTW that's what 205/60s look like on the stock rims. I still have those tires, Eagle STs are rare and valuable. I just took them off the car because they get scary below 40degF, they turn to glass and have no traction, even if it's dry.

Does anyone have pics of the rotor wheels? They were sold on South African model RX-7s, maybe other markets, and the center was rotor-shaped. I remember seeing them on a R100 in an article on the "Early RXs" in Grassroots Motorsports.

Yes those!

BTW that isn't an SE unless he had the wheels redrilled for the SE bolt pattern, or he put 12A axles and rotors (and therefore brakes) on it.

JM1FB3329E... the 2 means it's a 13B and the E means '84. Hmm.

Maybe they're redrilled? Did any Japanese market '7s have the 4x114.3mm bolt pattern?
