I have a chance of getting a set of the Type RZ type A wheels that are quite rare. 17x8 and 17x8.5 w +5O offset. I just don't know enough about them and I have searched. They're pricey but o so pretty.

 

There are a few different options for Mazda OEM wheels for the FD3S

Spirit R Type A Diamond Black
Spirit R Type B Silver / Spirit R Type C Silver
2001 Type-RZ
Optional upgrade BBS wheels for the Type RS FD3S.

Then there is also the very rare Type R squared wheels which are 17x8 fronts and 17x9 rears

They are all fantastic wheels that fit perfectly, very light weight and forged alluminium

I own 2 sets of the Type A wheels in Diamond Black You can't go wrong!

 

I'm drooling over these wheels. According to the add they're off a 2000 RZ, charcoal finish BBS. The add doesn't hav Pictures anymore but they're nice and from little research I did the RZ edition was a very limited run of 150 IIRC. I'll post some pictures once he sends them to me.

 

This is the best I have for now.

 

They're nice wheels, but I wouldn't consider them rare by any means.
Mind telling us what price you're getting them for?
IMO, anything over $1500 is over-priced.

 

Mazda built something like 325 of the Series 8 RZ's

 

I'm offering him $1000 or my chevy lsx engine as trade.

 

if you can get them for $1000. that's super cheap. I paid for my set $2200 6 years ago.

 

That's about what he paid... the problem is that I'm broke after buying a ton of goodies for the fd. Maybe he'll trade for my lsx engine.

 

they're awesome
