Out of the following, which are the rarest?

1. 79-80 Steel Wheels
2. 79-80 Waffle Wheels
3. 79 Limited Edition Wheels
4. 80 Leather Sport Wheels
5. 81-85 "Plus" Four-spoke Wheels
6. 81-85 Steel Wheels
7. 83 Limited Edition Wheels
8. 84-85 Special Edition Wheels
9. Rotor Wheels

 

I think there were only 2 types of wheel for the RX-7... the nasty looking 30 spoke or whatever, and the aluminum ones with the 4 spoke and black paint.

 

Rotor wheels, - used in Japan an the UK - Very rare.

 

Nope. The 84-85 GSL-SE wheels are different. look like a fan.

 

He just listed 9 different wheels used on 1st-gens

The rotor wheels were standard equipment in some countries (South Africa comes to mine) IIRC.

 

the 79 limited and 80 leather sport probably. didn't they make only like 1000 of each of those models?

 

Ten thousand would be more believeable, but I don't know.

Regarding the rotor wheels...Is'nt it funny how in places where they are are standard equipment, Rx-7 enthusiast probably have them just lying around...Stacked in back of the garage and forgotten- just like my two sets of stock wheels are.

I would LOVE to get a set of those rotor wheels!

 

I'd like to get some 12A Turbo wheels...

(Yes, I know)

 

Anyone got a pic of the "Rotor" wheels?

 

Ya lets see a pic of the rotor wheels. I havent ever gotton a good look at a pair.

holy crap, what is the bolt pattern on those things?

 

i've seen them on R100s and early RX-7s so they are probably 4x110.

 

exactly how is a bolt pattern measured or watever? thnx. ima n00b i know :]

 

i goit the funny lookin waffel wheels on my 79, with a full size spare inthe back(original tire from 79 w/rim)

 

HOLY ****
HOLY ****
HOLY ****

We have got to get Mazda to release those molds. We need those wheels. The rotor wheels are ******* SWEET. I am now no longer in search for a MINT GSL-SE... but a set of those rotor wheels.

goood lucky budddy, lemme know if u have any luck.

 

The molds were probably destroyed LONG ago

I've seen them in person. They're not very good looking in person, they're just big slabs of aluminum.

 

I was about to say that they look nothing like they do in the broshure in real life ... if your desperate for a set theres a set attatched to a car for sale in the UK
