Dude, do you have an S4? IF so, then go with some Stance coilovers, and some of those 8 spoke watanabe rims! But check your lug pattern first before you buy anything!

Save and do a 5 lug swap. That way you'll be able to upgrade the brakes and such. Then look for a clean set of wheels.

Rota also makes a knock off these wheel.

Konig makes a wheel called the Rewind. Im pretty sure it comes in the 4 lug bolt pattern. 4x114.3, correct? Cheap too!

I second changing the car to a 5 lug. You won't only get the benefit of 5 lug and having a wider selection of wheels but your brakes will be upgraded as well to probly a 4 piston.

Yay four lug!

These wheels are now black (yet oddly, I don't have a picture of them on the car after being painted).





Oh, and you don't need to bother going to 5 lug to get the bigger brakes either...

Talking

what does every 1 think about those sportmax wheels i think they have the best look although those wheels on maroon rx7 look clean.

thax 4 all the help i just wanted an idea of what was out there.
i still need a good engine though if anyone has a engine that would work in a 88 rx7 pm me. mines a half blown engine .... that runs with one rotor with i think 84 compression and the other is on zero... pulling it out soon.

kinda a sad story i need a engine!

If I ever had a four lug car, the only wheels I'd ever even think about putting on it would be these:


I'm still trying to talk my dad into getting them for his old GTI
