I have wheel adapters on my car they work fine you just have to check them every so often to make sure they are tight.

Do an ebay search for Konig Rewind, and Konig Remember, or look for Rota Wheels.

but won't the offset be off by a lot because those rims are meant for front wheel drive, and you have rear wheel drive?

How about these??????

Some of these I have never even seen before.
I have dealt with Phil's in that past and there is nothing that you could ever want that he does not have available........

Most good wheels on E-bay will go for $300-400 dollars.

His are selling for in the $150-200 range so even if the shipping was another $200 you would be even and have wheels that no one in the us has ever seen before.

Send phil an e-mail with your zip code he will get back to you!

He is the ONE AND ONLY place to get the imposible to find "Savanna Rx-7" badges....

Every one of them was 4x110 bolt pattern.

Said so in the auction and Phil is the largest most well known rotary guy in all of Australia.

the rims in the attached pic of the black TII are not going to fit a first gen without a kit or redrilled rotors. they are 5 lug.

the ebay ones will yeah, but not the ones from the attached pic.
