HELP!!! I need to find/buy '99-spec tails and SuperLicense wheels.

Where is the best place to purchase the OEM '99-spec tail-lights?

Where can I find 17" x 8.5" SuperLicense 6-spoke, 3-piece/2-piece alumnium wheels?


I need to replace these parts on my car. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks fellas.

Rufio, thank you for your offer, but I prefer to use OEM parts on my car.

Everyone else, thank you for your assistance as well. I will check out RX-7 Store and keep an eye on that Ebay listing, and perhaps contact FD-Newbie.



What I really need that is proving very difficult to find is my wheels. I damaged one of mine and I need to replace it. They are SuperLicense 17" x 8.5" 3-piece alumniums. If anyone can tell me where I can find this wheel-design I would forever thankful.

Have you thought of a wheel repair place? Some seem to do good work.

They said that the wheel was unrepairable. I really need to find these wheels somewhere.

Round tail lights has been standard since -96, why do you guys call them 99-spec?

And i recommend moding the stock lights.

why do people say '99-spec' anyway, when version V began in 98?
why is this the 93-02 forum, when it should be 91-02?
why do they call the upgraded turbos 'efini', when that name ended in 97?

just one of many mysteries :p

call what?

the tailights should be 96-spec

99-spec should be 98-spec

the forum should be 91-02

and the 'efini turbos', well that's up for debate, but I would suggest '(factory) upgraded turbos' because... (a) efini is plain wrong, (b) 99-spec is wrong, (c) 98-spec is still a misnomer, because both sets of turbos will still in production, (d) 280hp is wrong, because they are 280ps, (e) 280ps is problematic, because it's not like the turbos (or the car for that matter) 'make' 280ps...

? it's very common for cars to be referred to via chassis code when there are generational changes - silvia, skyline, M series BMW, wrx, type-r hondas.... to name a few

Why is there air? Who really cares... just contact Ramy for the taillights and try googling or eBay for the rims. Good luck!
