Question Which rims are these!!??

They are in that video midnight8.mpeg. They are on the yellow FD, and are black rims with a little silver lip. What rims are these, or what rims are good racing rims, and are this color black?

Thanks!!

I can't get the thing to successfully download ... and their site doesn't seem to be working to well for me. Maybe it's them, maybe it's my end. Sorry.

I believe they are mesh style like these:



Not saying those are them, but I saw them better in one of their other videos. I believe they are like those Advans but black with the silver lip (which those Advans do come in).

Thanks!!

I didn't even download the video, I have 56k sorry..

If it's Fstfd3spower's CYM FD(stock looking no kit) then they are Blitz Z1's I believe with black powder coated centers.

Sorry, I'm "wheel challenged" so I don't know much about them aside from "how they look".

I found those on Takakaira's site:

http://www.takakaira.com/rimsandtyre...yresindex.html

The Advan Siena SR01 model. I'm sure ARD T2 could give you better information on them and he could probably tell you exactly what rims are on that yellow FD if the Advans aren't them.

Hmmm... i really do like the Blitz Z1's, but can you get them ordered with the Black powder coated from the factory and are they light rims?

Blitz aren't available with black centers but you can have them powdercoated here in the states.

Here's a picture of fstfd3spower's car at Nopi in this thread. He has Blitz z1's with black powdercoated centers.

There were some more pics of his car here, but it seems the links he posted don't work anymore. I would suggest just pm'ing him and asking if that is his car in the video and if he has any more still shots he can send you.

Here's the thread with the dead links in it:
https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...t=fstfd3spower

BTW, I think those wheels with black centers or any wheels with black centers for that matter would look great on a silver car.

Same car, just copied and pasted the link from his post. Not a very good shot to show the wheels though. Again I would pm him and see if he has any that shows the wheels off better.

Those Z1s are quite heavy. Just so you know! Advan Siena SR01s that Mahjik mentioned are great.

Personally, on a silver car I'd go with something with a bit less contrast, but still dark in flavor. The black isn't bad, matte black would be a little better ... but a bronze or dark gunmetal would do nicely with a polished lip. Then again, very few Americans do something along my lines of styling so probably no one will agree with me for a couple of years.

True they are very heavy, not sure how heavy but wouldn't be suprised if they were 25lbs a wheel.

Here's dclin's car with his old gewalt's with a dark gunmetal center on his silver car.

DOH!

I told you I was "wheel challenged".

Actually, I couldn't find an pics of Blitz online last night but that was my first guess.

Hindsight, 20/20? sigh....

Go for the Advan's instead!
