nice rims but did u get any caps or anything to cover the lugs? then it would look much better in my oppinion

Yes I did get caps but the caps have mustang on them so I don't think that would look very good on the rx7

Heh. Those look a lot better painted than they do stock, imhmfo. Bt aren't mustange wheels 17x7?

Also, it's not that you need lower profile tires, you just need to lower your car with some suspension mods. (which will make the rubbing worse up front.)

Stock Mustang Wheels are 17X8 I know this for a fact since I also own a mustang. The car is lowered with Suspension Techniques Springs. They were on my parts car.

hmmm......looks like they are painted to me, not polished. but WTFE......

I saw a FC around town last week that had 16" rims on it from the new TAURUS....(this is NOT a typo--I did say taurus!) They are polished directional 5 spokes, and it didn't even look that bad!! They are the same rims that the 2003 Taurus SES comes with for those who want to check it out....

I was talking about the Cobra wheels they are polished not mine

Okay.. bringing this back from the dead.. By chance are the stang rims hubcentric to the FC? If not.. do you know what the hub bore of the stang rims are? I'd like to see if I could get some hubcentric rings if I decide to get these rims..

they are not hubcentric and the mustangs hole is larger than the stock rx7 hole. I also dont have any shimmy problems or vibration

I know this is not the for sale forum but since he brought it up. I do have these for sell now. Got in a wreck yesterday. 80 year old guy ran into me not my fault. But anyways need some extra cash even though his insurance is paying to get it fixed. Will sell all 4 wheels with tires or without tires for $230 obo plus shipping. If you want tires off you have to pay for them to be taken off. The tires are crap and have no tread left on them. I also have the 4 center caps that will be included but they are the stock color.

Car is damaged not wheels.
