i recently found a use for the spare tire on my rx-7, i was alittle surprised at what i found in the trunk, i was expecting a normal old doughnut, what i found was a pretty nice looking skinny little rim that says "mazda" and i believe "enkei" on the other side of the back, also has alittle sticker with some japanese on it

ignore the other crap in the picture, it looks like a used car lot around here right now


anyway, what does this rim come off of? i wouldnt mind finding 4 to go with it, the phone dial looking rims are ok but....

 

That rim is just the stock spare tire.
All the 7's came with that rim/tire. Just some had 5 holes instead of 4. I also wouldn't even think of using that as a normal wheel. Even if you could find a normal tire (non spare) to fit on the rim, it would still severly reduce your contact patches.

 

im talking about just the rim, i know the tire is just a simple temporary use tire, but what about the rim itself, did all second gen 7's come with a spare rim that looks like that? im aware its much to skinny to use 4 of them on the car, but do they come in a wider version on any car stock? just seems odd to me to have that rim for a spare wheel, my 85 just has an ugly black steel thing

 

their is no other car i know of that has that rim, its just our spare tire.

 

Yea, I have only seen them on 7s... They are too skinny to be used on the car all around... But I have thought about putting them on a go kart... if only they were a little smaller....
