I would do the 5 point. I think its the most tradtional look. A classic. I bit bling!, but it's ok if you like the BLING!

Dude, neither, those belong on vintage american muscle cars. The AR wheels were very common upgrade with early to mid 70's camaro's. The second wheel you have looks more like a vet wheel.

As stated, these are muscle car rims built for Detroit steel.

The first one is a Cragar knockoff, and the second are typical drag type wheels.

I think both of those would look nice on a domestic drag car.

Hideous on an RX7.

Just IMO.

What do these things weigh? They look heavy.

too shiny, and just ugly anyway. and I bet those things are pretty dang heavy. I'd choose the stock wheels over those things any day.

and going no rice on your car doesn't mean you have to buy american parts for your car. in fact, buying those nasty things IMHO, would make your car more ricey.

but if you like them, go for it.

Can somebody photochop these onto a pic of your car? Then you could see how ug--er-- how they really look.

eh... look good on a Mustang...

The Torq Thrust look good on a late 60s stang (as a matter of fact, American Racing Torq Thrust Ds were on Bullitt... )

The welds, well, they look better... but I still don't particularly like them for the 'rex

The Torq Thrusts aren't light, but I guarantee the Welds are pretty light, that's what Weld does.

Those wheels do not belong on an RX7, and if I saw one with them I would probably laugh. I am sorry, but it just does not compliment the car at all. If you like them tho, go for it.
