Mazda rx7 rims??

I have just brought a mazda rx7 1st generation, completely rebuilt engine and in almost perect condition, and im looking into buying some new rims for it, the stores i went to had nothing that would fit and i would like to know what other types of rims it has for this model (1980). If anyone has any information on where to buy them, in ontario canada, or if anyone is selling any rims if you could reply to me that would be great.

good luck. I think we are all in the same boat here. Consider switching to a new bolt pattern if you really want some options.

oh and welcome to the forum! you will find that the 4x110 pattern is perhaps the hardest to find rims for. If you dont want to switch bolt patterns then you will be needing to look on ebay everyday for some rims or see if anyone on this forum is looking to sell thier rims. Personally, I really like the stock rims.

You just need to keep an eye out on Ebay. I think there are only 3 different types of wheels you can get brand new that will fit.

Did you have to send them specs and they custom made it? from there website all i saw was that theyre custom made and i didnt find any prices. I need some adapters quick so i can get some draglites for my slicks because im going to a race in about 2 weeks.

Check out Diamond Racing wheels. Nothing fancy, but damn they are cheap! I see tons of autocross guys running them. One guy I asked said he got a set for about 250 bucks.
