K3 Sunbeam. A beautiful color on the SA22C RX-7s. That coupled with the fairly rare factory alloys and the black pinstipes my '79 has makes the car look great. Retro, but great. All I need now is to scape up the cash to repaint and pinstripe the sucker, as the 25-year old paint isn't up to snuff anymore.

Evidently the wheels on my car were only produced on about 3,000 vehicles. According to Manntis, they were discontinued because they were too hard to clean.

Here's a pic from an E-Bay auction:

What's the cream beige color? It's on my 84 GSL-SE and it's kinda faded. Did it ever come with a clearcoat? Cuz it doesn't look like it. And my zymol wax says "not intended for flat paint" !


Oh sweet wheels! At first it looks like the regular SA wheels, but then I noticed they are different. Maybe you should post a pic of both of em to show peoples...

H1, Sparkling Black...The awesomest color in my opinion, full of brown, and metallic. Nearly impossible to match perfectly...
