Best place to buy infini rx7 wheels?
 
Are there any JSPEC importers that you know of that have imported infini rx7 wheels and wanna sell me a set? I love those damn wheels!

MtnRacer 11-05-03 09:09 AM

Nope. Keep an eye on auctions.yahoo.co.jp You'll have to find someone who will buy them for you and ship them. Plan on spending around 600-800(shipped) for a used set in ok condition. Or you can contact my friend(neofreak) who's selling his set(last that I heard of). Good luck.

Nope but there is a guy on nopistons.com that sells the 95+ FD wheels. They are 17x8 and 17x8.5, and look very nice. Anyways, maybe contact him to see if he could get you some.

The Infini IV wheels are just standard BBS 16x7 forged wheels. They were pretty common in the aftermarket back in the 80-90s. They were called RS models as I recall.

I imagine they're discontinued also, Icemark?

why buy 7" wide wheels even if they are infini wheels?

Oh yeah, disco'd years ago. Sometimes I see them on E'bay though.

But the current RXII is very simular (including forged construction)

why not??? 7" is the stock size on the Turbo and GTUs models.

BBS 16" Infini wheels
 
They are identical to the standard 15"x6.5 convertible wheels. I'd like a set of these on my vert, but for the price you might as well buy new 17"s.

Mills 11-05-03 03:27 PM

Here's a picture of the 17" version, note that while the center forged part is the same, the outside is riveted and gives it a bit of a different look...

No, that is a different series BBS wheel (RC as I recall). The 3 piece wheels were heavier than the 1 piece forged wheels.

They also do not have the convex style that the RS wheels had. Note them on this Infini IV:

I had these sitting around my house for a long time, seemed like no one wanted them, they sold for $800 two days ago.

Thanks again Steve for the thought. Help sell my Mazdaspeed seats next. =)

Well yeah, but a lot of us are running a lot more power than stock. A little wider wheel might help traction just a bit.

christi 11-06-03 07:04 PM

stupid question?

I thought BBS wheels could only fit on the 'verts. Or are they specialed made for other series of the rx-7s?

This is what I was told....
