NEED Aftermarket RIMS FOR FIRST GEN!
i have an 83 rx7
and it has stock 13s on it with the stupid boly pattern of 4x110!
if u own a 1 gen u kno its near impossible to find that bolt pattern.
i want 15's, some watanabe wannabes "fast forwards"
what shouuld i do?
hub adaptors?..i think that make it too wide
replace the whoe axle with an axle from a later year rx7?
and lets rule out the idea of custom rims.
im a college student. on a budget
if anyone can tell me some hints and ideas that wouyld be great!
i see ppl rollin around with aftermarkets rims on their FB's and have no clue how they do it!

Wankel Me This!!
I have 15inch honda civic rims. (got them free) I was told that all I need to do is get the rotors redrilled to that bolt patern and I think you all so need 25mm spacers. I am going to put studs. but I am not going to do that intill I get tires for the rims and I mite need new rotors.

love the braaaap
Search and you shall find all the information you would ever want on wheel selection for a 1st gen. But to sumarize, your choices are either find a used set of wheels in the 4x110 pattern, switch to the GSL-SE suspension and breaks which use a much more common 4x114.3 pattern, or use addapters on your current hubs to convert to any 4 bolt pattern you want. Here are some good adapters that seem to be reasonably priced, http://www.adaptitusa.com/

If you're willing to change out the axles and struts to the GSL-SE, the 4X114.3 pattern opens up a wider variety of wheels. Another option is upgrading the front brakes with ReSpeeds big brake kit and redrilling the rears for the 2nd gen 5X114.3 pattern. By that time, things get quite a bit expensive. That will take care of braking and grip upgrades, suspension upgrades should be next on your list.
