99 Rx-7 wheels
Hi Everyone,
I haven't posted in a while but I'm looking for some 99 Rx-7 17" wheels and heard there is a guy on the forum that sells used sets. Anybody have any contact info or know of other sources for these wheels? TIA

The only 16" wheel of the time was the same as the US spec. It was available on most models thru the end of the '98 year cars. It was replaced by a new 16" wheel for the '99+ cars which is probably the wheel you were thinking of.

The 99+ "RB" models came the same size brakes as the the 93-95's. So they got the remodeled 16" wheels. They didnt go to a smaller wheel rather they kept it the same size. The RB has the single oil cooler and most were AT's.
The "96+" RS, RZ, and Spirit R Models came with larger brakes that only 17" 's will fit over. That is why they are 17's
I call them the 99+ wheels so that people will know what I am talking about. Jesse

Here's some pics for clarification. First, the new 99+ 16x8 wheels:
And here's a pic of the 96+ 5-spoke 17inch wheel:
