Look what followed me home

Couldn't help myself and bought another rx-7. This one is a '91 NA that ate an apex seal. Interesting to see the differences between the s4 & s5 cars.



Now that I have the car I have to decide what to do with it....

I have always liked the look of that style of wheel. They were only on the '91 model, well '92 if you count that. They may find their way onto my gxl daily driver. Have to see how it looks.

I don't think so, they look more like FD to me. The '91 GTU and GXL should have had those fugly 5 spoke with the beveled gaps in each spoke, or the nice BBS style TII/GTUs wheels. Don't think any S5 had those wheels. (actually, I'm almost sure of it)

Hummm.....Maybe someone already took the good looking rims off. I have a book on rx-7's that describes all the model changes and it states the rims were changed in '91 and the pic of the car looks just like the one I towed home (even red).

BBS vert rims are the best. I love my rims.
