Whatever the price they go for, watch the shipping costs. I used the calculator and it was 208.28 to ship 1/2 way across the country. When I shipped Jon's wheels, actual shipping cost was only 45, 1/2 way across the country. Packaging was another 40.

Well either way they'll only fit if you have a GSL-SE, so I don't care.

It's hard to tell for sure, but they appear to be "genuine" Panasports (Panasports are a copy of Minilites). The details are sketchy, though. 15-inch diameter, but no width mentioned. 4-lug and states they are for 86-91 RX-7s. Presumably 4x114.3, but there were no 4 lug S5 cars (even the base model with single piston brakes had 5 lugs)...perhaps a minor error, but that sort of thing makes me wary and want more answers before bidding.

BTW, the shipping calculator told me it would cost $247 to ship to my location. That's one hell of a handling charge!

I went to UPS to ship wheels to Jon, they wanted 22 bucks for thier boxes and I needed 4. Went to U-Haul, bought 2 boxes for 3.50 each and packed the **** out of them. Sounds like the seller is dropping off the wheels and having the shipper pack them. Those $22 boxes cannot cost more than 3 bucks each, maybe 5. Talk about markup.

It frosts my *** when sellers try to pad thier profit with hidden shipping costs. I rarely leave negative feedback, but excessive shipping costs is a valid reason too do just that.

Anyone bidding on these wheels should contact the seller and see what he is willing to do about reducing the shipping costs, before they bid.

My buddy bought out some shop in CA that had all sorts of official Mazda RX7 racing equipment along with this car. He just shipped me a full set of alluminium pulley's and is now asking if I want a set of Panasport rims / tires. Apparently he's got a few sets along with all sorts of other parts... he really hasn't attempted to sell them yet but wanted to get rid of them. Let me know if you want to make an offer on em. I know he's also trying to get rid of the car he has, has no emissions since it was setup for racing but has all the good suspension stuff / set of alluminum pulleys, etc.
