I'd like point out that nearly all the suggestions are both more expensive and heavier than the PR-F1's.

Get yourself a set of 'vert BBS rims. Then have the centers powdercoated gun metal or black, and polish the lip. HAWTNESS.

Personally I think it all depends on what style YOU like and what you use the car for etc.

But for a black car, I'm biased I say white rims, which is what mine looks like , followed closely by gold, bronze or silver (NOT Chrome!).
In terms of rim styles I personally like Rays Engineering/Volk Racing TE37s, CE28, RE30 or Gram lights 57 Pro. But again thats what I like, not necessarily what YOU should get.

how hard is it to pick wheels? go with whatever you want! u dont neccessarily have to get what others on the forum have.. get something you havent seen on a rx7..

Make sure you look into getting some low offset wheels.. Honda wheels are a big no no. no 17x7 or anything.. your car is RWD, so take advantage of it.. 16x8,16x9,17x8,17x9,18x9,18x10 (im rocking 18x10 front and back)

Im not a big fan of fake copy wheels like rota or cheapo sportmax, but they have some decent sizes that look ok.

Remember - WHEELS MAKE THE CAR. Choose wisely.. invest in a set that will last you a long time that you will be happy with.

You really cant go wrong with a classis mesh wheel, you can find them for a decent price.

Thanks for the info man. I'm not really looking to copy other members styles but I'm not really good at finding decent rims that would fit the bolt pattern not rub tire sizes etc. Are there any nice mesh rims that arent too crazy in price?

Those are nice BBS ^

I'm using some 16" Rikens. +20 Offsets, 205.55.16 tires.....

I think the ride height also makes a diff...
1st pic up there ^ on TeinRa's & 2nd pic on KYB/AGX & some 1" drop springs.
The KYBS's were very comfortable. and the TeinRa is very harsh on street.

Thanks !


Some more pics...

This is when I first got them from a friend off of his FC.




Painted. .. . .





Polished....






This one is an old pic...was on KYB/AGX..





Last One . .
The FC is my DD & I almost fell into a ditch last Friday on 22, 2008 NJ mini snow storm going dowhnill.
