They still function as a wheel. Most "less" known wheel brands have pretty much the same quality and weight. Unless your a hardcore track racer, 3000 dollar rims are not needed and way overkill.


Unless you want to look cool to your friends because you have the latest "JDM" rims on your FD.

Yeah, I have to say I like the old ones better, too.

What is with the chrome or painted door handles, too?
Seems kind of odd, to me......

Okay...but she's still real fast; seriously, I think what I really have is a very unique looking RX7 now. I have only found one other 7 with this type of wheel.

I hate to say it man, but in my opinion the C2s look much better. :/ Doesn't help the fact that C2s look like they were almost made for the FD. Too bad they're on the heavy side.

I would have stuck with the C2's. But, whatever floats your boat.

I gotta agree with everyone, I don't like the rims. I'm not sure what C2's look like, but I'm sure I'd like them better than those.

Your FD is unique looking, yes, but so is Michael Jackson. Unique is not necessarily better.

Haha, you fellas are really giving this guy grief! Now he's going to be second-guessing himself and feel like crap every time he looks at his car since it has nobody's approval!

I just meant sleek lights in general. Wheels look good though.
