Anyone know how rare these wheels are? I think this pic is from a 80 GSL-SE catalog. I think those are the best looking wheels I have ever seen on an RX. Thanks.

 

Ive seen 'em on ebay a couple of times. they usually call them "rotor wheels/rims" or something

 

It looks like a Japanese Savannah model. The GSL-SE wasn't introduced until 1984.

Aside from the fact that the wheels (they look like covers, not rims) have the shape of the Wankel rotor, I personally think they are fugly!

Just my opinion... ( i know, everyone has one.. yada yada)

Ian Has a set, he was looking to sale them at one time.

 

Maurtisha

 

That's them.. Is Maurtisha the name of the company?

 

no thats forum member karism's car's name.

 

PM jimmyjoejoe. he had a set for sale awhile back. dont know if he still has them though

 

Those are the best....
Down here every 81 up came with rotor wheels

 

Those are cool just because of the shape but as far as style I would rather have steel wheels and hubcab spinners then those on my car...

 

i have a friend with a set in his garage i think he might want to get rid of...pm me and i can probaly get you a price.

 

How much will you give me for a set?

 

These rotor wheels were available on 81-83 models in Japan and Europe. "SE-Limited" is not a GSL-SE but a J-spec model.
They are genuine Mazda, btw. But no longer available...
In Europe they are rather common, although most have suffered a bit by now. It's hard to find a set in good condition, but they can be restored. Original ones can be identified from restored nes by the fact that the "lines" from the milling machine is visible on them! Which explains why Mazda didn't use a simular design on the RX-8 (they had plans for that): way to expensive to produce.

 

Leif and abcdefb, if you can post pics of yours and prices, it would be great.. Or, better yet, If you can email me the pics and prices.. Don't know which of you would be closer to me..

 

pics tomorrow (daylight)

 

IMO, those are the ugliest wheels I have ever seen on anything in my life. Please. Don't do it !!!

 

I dont really care for them either. I mean, I like the idea, just not the look.

 

I like my wheels. They are different but I wish the previous owner didnt paint them...

Oh and BTW if anyone has an extra center cap laying around and wants off it, PM me. I am missing one. I have seen them with and without the word "MAZDA" in them. I need them WITH it.

 

here we go! 2 sets (with and without mazda)
