Panasports?
 
Anybody have panasport rims on there first gen. I have a 1979 and i thinking about getting some panasports. What would u prefer if u had a choice. 15" for 500 or 16" for 600. Perfect set. But not sure which size to get. Go with the 16's or the 15's. Please help.

I have 15x6 Panasport ProRallys on my SE.. 15 or 16 inch is a matter of preference and pocketbook, you choose.

buddah9543 04-10-03 08:13 PM

i just don't want my first gen to look like an suv. i know the first gens look better with smaller rims compared to FD with 18's 19's and maybe more.

15" seems to look right on the Rx7...though you migh be limited in performance tire options per say. I have 15" on mine...I want first dibs on the other set ...that price on the rims seems to be a good deal.

15 is best hands down.

I have 13x7 panas on the racecar hehe.

How much do the 15's run for a new set?

Right on.

jutny 04-10-03 08:34 PM

not panasports (on my car) , but i agree that 15" is the best size for a 1st gen. TONS of tires out there in 205/50/15.

I have 15x7's on the GS, they look pretty good sitting in my RB lowered fender wells

I'm trying to get the freaking car running, I'd like to take it to the revolution thing in indy just to autoX it. But I dont know what a trip down on the expressway with a 5:12 rearend would be like..

Yeah if I had it to do again I would have gotten 16's instead of 15s.

why??

Felix Wankel 04-10-03 10:19 PM

The 15's looked good and all, but I think the 16's would have looked better.

buddah9543 04-10-03 10:50 PM

ok thanks guys i think i will go 16's

firstgen82 04-10-03 11:36 PM

16x7's

knight1976 04-11-03 01:02 PM

My question is how do the 16s ride and how easy is it going to be to bend your rims with 16s. I live in Texas and some of the roads are less than perfect and i have been known to drive down a rock driveway or two.

And how much did the 15"x7" compomotive ML's with 205/50R15's cost ya?

MikeLMR 04-11-03 01:38 PM

£680 or $1088 for new ones ... probably cheaper in the US even though they are made in the UK ;)

buddah9543 04-15-03 12:01 AM

I m getting 16's for my SE. What size tires should i get.
225/40/16 - rear
215/45/16 - up front

Any better suggestions would be appreciated. And how r the Kumho tires. Seem the best for the price everywhere i look.

85sevn 04-15-03 12:20 AM

17's look the best but they suffer in the ride comfort!
