Need Pics of Wheels off other cars on our RX7
I can't afford a set of mags right now, so as a cheaper alternative I was going to get a set of some stockers from the junk yards or buynsell for cheap for my 87 TII. So far I've narrowed it down to 2 choices, either a set from the New Preludes or the 1993-95 Ford Probe GT. The Probe GT wheels are 16x8 with a 40mm offset, so it should fit nicely and it came with 225/50/16 tires. Anyone got any pics of their RX7 with some stockers off some other cars? I need ideas...thanks.

Some other ideas I've seen: '91 300ZX wheels and '96 Eclipse GSX wheels. On the Prelude rims, I use 205/50/16 tires in front and 225/50/16 in the rear. You can't use tires wider than 205 in the front without spacers or it'll rub the dampers. I personally like the Prelude rims because they're directional and follow the lines of the car.

Hmmm...I have a 95 Probe GT in my garage right now...maybe if I get time on Saturday I'll swap 2 wheels and take some pics...can't promise anything, though, because my schedule has been very hectic.

for awhile i ran mustang cobra rims 93-? the 17x8 polished ones. the fit perfectly with 225's. Plus i bought them from ford for 400 with new tires. some guy bought a new stang and wanted the cobra r rims instead(17x9.5). but you can buy them new for 122 a piece.

I used to have Mitsubishi Starion rims on my old GXL - It looked really nice. The rims were all from the front off 2 different starions. The width of the rear, and offset of the rears on a starion are too big. You'd have to get fender flares.

16x8 +40mm will be a DAMN tight fit up front, unless you have coilovers or something...They will probably be rubbing your springs otherwise.

did you have to buy $2000 dollars worth of stuff or did they just let you buy the wheels?

Totals: (56.00 x 4) + 50.00 + 30.00 (for shipping) = 304.00.
The caps were included but I left them off because it looks better!
