The 13 inch wheels made during the 1st gen years are interchangable, those being Mazda brand wheels. Panasports, Enkeis and even some 626 and 323 wheels also work.

Anybody have a pic of the Koseis on their car? Tirerack doesn't show you and I'm curious as to how'd they look.

Thanks

I'm going back and forth between those and panasports. Koseis are much cheaper, though.

if your looking for cheap, try ebay or thepartstader.com, sets of 13 14 and 15 inch show up from time to time.

If your looking for lots of selection switch over to a GSL-SE suspension and brakes.


Sorry about the 'tude. But this question gets asked, in some form or another, once a week or so.

If you want 16s or 17s you need to get spacers, longer wheel studs and custom drilled rims. Or change over to gsl se suspension. I got the custom wheels and spacers. Its working great

I wanted to swich over to the 5 bolt pattern from the later rx7s so I could get a better choice of wheels but it would of been too much of a hassel.
