From: AZ, and so I went to the store one day with my lobster of course and saw the love of my life. It was an orange. And it was blue. Blue like the dirt on the back of the apple. It was a blue apple. Blue with dirt. Dirt with blue.

I would go with rota slipsreams
you can get them in 15 x6.5 @ 12 lbs for $400
or you can get them in 16 x7 @ 14.5 lbs for $500
and you can get them in black.
those prices are from seriousauto.com

Black Opal Konig Flatlines are nice, but expensive.

I have to say the black opel doent not look black at all... maybe just the light???
Also from the Rota site: "4X100 Bolt Pattern is for a Miata, Civic or Integra

5 X114.3 Bolt pattern is for an Accord
"
So i get Honda Wheels?????????? LOL but is that the right size. Sorry for being so dumb first time wheel shopper////

The offset will be too high if it's for an Accord.

Rays Volks Racing TE-37 - not quite black, but I think they come in Anthracite.

Black Racing or Watanabe RS8's - same ones on the InitialD FC.

RETed, since you are sound like a fairly indepth Initial D viewer I want to get the same rims that Takumi has for his AE86 Trueno. I have looked around for quite some time and came up with nothing. Maybe someone knows out there that is more obsessed with the series than me.

Those are the Black Racing/Watanabe RS-8's I was talking about.

Honda wheel? you are more correct than you think. they do look an aweful lot like the spoon wheel. in fact they are copies of the spoon wheel. the spoon wheels are even lighter, but cost 4 times as much. Its up to you if you want to have 'honda wheels' on your RX7. But I don't see the problem with it (I'm going to be getting the silver ones). its not like they have an H on them. But then again its up to you.
