if i had to go with one of those, i think i agree with T.J.

but these are the ones im getting...

 

Yup.

 

i think i like these



but the ones that onepointone pointed out look very nice too, also depends what color your car is.

 

this is rx7gslse's car.. same rims.. i love this setup

 

ahh man those are sweet. what are those??
im leaning toward the first ones too, the enkei's. i can see those are velox's, but do you know what type??

 

Of those two, I think I'd go RS5. I like the way the spokes extend all the way to the tire (almost). Kinda gives it the illusion of being a larger rim than it is. That and I'm not a big fan of the screws around the perimeter of the Konigs.

 

I like the Konigs. I've got Enkei RSEs myself and the 3-piece-rim look (with the little bolts around the rim) looks very correct on these cars.

See?

 

I must agree. The screws are only cool if the wheel is a true 3 piece. Otherwise whats the point? It's like wearing a fake watch.

 

hey man im a poor college student. sometimes we cant all afford the real thing. i dont mind having fake 3 pieces, to me if they look cool i like them.

 

I see my rims on tons of Hondas, but i dont know what brand or how much, they came on my car, sorry!

 

man thats a big ol' lip

 

4-2 in favor of the enkeis so far.

 

I never meant to imply that everyone should be able to afford expensive 3 piece wheels. I believe that amongst the more cost-effective varieties, I prefer the ones that don’t pretend to be something they are not, specifically 3 piece wheels.

But above all, to each is own. If you like them, then thats all that matters.

 

i wasnt being angry, just joking around. to me buying 3 peice look alikes isnt quiet like buying a fake watch. its say, more like owning a 1st gen instead of a 3rd gen. not being able to afford the best, but still pretty damn cool, for alot less.

 

Your info says you have a 79. Did you swap out your suspension for SE stuff? If not, I think you'll be in for a disappointment on wheel selection.

 

well i havent yet, but i just bought all the se stuff so i can do the swap. front and back.

 

You're set then. You will be able to find almost any wheel at any price for your car if you look around long enough. Let me find this link to a good online store.....

Never actually purchased from them, but they ahve a great selection for the GSL-SE. Some pretty smooth lookin rims IMO.

 

Funny you should mention this. I've actually decided to sell my 3rd gen and just keep the 1st gen for now. It's a long story, but it's not a case of "having to." I am confident I'll be happy with only the 1st gen for a while.

 

crazy, i dont think i could ever let a 3rd gen go.
thanks for the above link, thats the sight i used. these were my two favs.

 

Do it, then dump some coin in the 1st gen, especially on the suspension. I sold my FD in Sept... life goes on. Anyway, I identifiy more with the FB, it sounds better, parts are cheaper, and it's one helluva lot easier to work on

 

Chalk another one up for the enkeis !!
