i just wanted to chirp in my 2 cents....i was searching for rims a while back and i called a lot of shops and they all told me that i can order any rim i want and they will re-drill the bolt pattern for $50 a rim....so i guess if u can afford and extra $200 on top of the rim price then u can have any design u want....

I like the stock steels too, we have them on the '85 S. Best looking steel wheels aound.
Then again I like the stock aluminum and the stock -SE aluminum...

I also like the Konig Monsoons I bought

the rear rims in this pic are of my old Rx7. does anyone know what they are? the car came with 'em and i really like them for a old school look, and 13" too!

one of the rims was damaged so i ended up running the stock steelies upfront until i sold the car

Hades12 - those wheels are American Racing 6-spokes and were a 'reproduction' of the 80's vintage racing cars. These had to be custom-drilled in 4x110 for non-SE bolt pattern. I know because I have a set on my 80LS.

The ones in my signature line are MB Motoring Model 272's:

Andy, why do you have the black plastic that goes between the tail ights off? For cosmetic purposes or do you need one? I have a few of them.
