Rotary Rims

Hey guys, was thinking about getting these rims. They claim they are OEM, how would you be able to determine this information? Thanks!

These ARE OEM. Sold as stock rim on later-model FBs in Europe and Japan. Now, the red painted areas...?
no. That is a mod. $1.3k! yoik. Might be worth shopping on the UK RX7 club's forums for these. Even with shipping, am guessing you could get them quite a bit cheaper...

They are most certainly OEM. They are shown in the JDM accessories brochure i posted here here: http://www.ausrotary.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=249572

A complete set in decent condition is very rare. Fair enough asking price IMO. These don't come up often at all.

Those are OEM MAZDA. The only issue with those rims are that the barrel was cut to be made wider. A friend of mine who sent them to be cut. he lives in the New York area.

I was wondering about any mods to them to stagger those wheels as such. Yup he is in NY. Was even factoring in shipping. Will look elsewhere. I know a couple members here were selling them, but those threads were years n years old. Will keep lookin, just think they are soo cool, know not everyone likes em, but hey to each their own. Thanks again for the info!

I've seen 4 sell in France not so long ago.
They are not so rare in Europe as they were standard issue on some FB.

Try your luck on rx7fb.com
