Wheels.

Hi guys. Looking for a resource to find 4x110 wheels. Would prefer something interesting or deep dish. But it seems I can't find anything out there. Anything will help thanks!

I'd assume any vintage Japanese wheel from the 70s/80s would work for our cars. Unless I'm mistaken pretty much all vintage Mazdas used the 4x110 bolt pattern, so I'd have to assume at one point wheels were made for our cars. Now finding them is a completely different story... I think that Watanabe still makes wheels in the correct size.

Wantanabe does make them still and Rota has some wheels that come in 4x110 as well. Look on Ebay

I just purchased Konig Rewinds (silver) recently. 15x7 with the right offset. Worked great.
You can get the dark grey centers readily but the silver is out of production ATM so you will
have to search around for em in that color. Great looking wheel and seems easiy to clean.
Very period correct as they are minilite/panasport knockoffs.

I'll get some pics up soon as I unload my camera and phone. Be a few days.

+1 on the Rewinds. Both 0 Offset and 40mm below. I had no issues with the 40mm offsets with stock and RB setup. Can't speak for the 0 offset with rubbing

as an easier alternative to 4x110, you can find 4x108 ( mustang usually) wheels and run wobble bolts or screw/press in studs and lugs. people even get away without needing centric rings.

No lol, but I do know Mike haha.

Yeah I'm running 16x11's at the moment with no centric rings.

I haven't had an FB yet and used them.
