Are stock wheels staggard?

let me preface by saying that my rx7 did not come with stock rims, but i can get 2 rims from another rx7 that bent both the rims on the left side. so i would get the two rims from the right side. i was going to use them for drag radials when i go to the track....but i have a feeling that they may be staggard from the factory.

All wheels are the same, front to back, left to right. Some of the later ('96+) rims in Japan have wider wheels in the back, but we never got them stock in the US.

The 93 wheels came in two versions. The first version had cracking problems and Mazda improved them. Do a search to look at the pics to make sure you get the right ones.

Doesn't matter. I have a late '94 FD, that came w/ both non-reinforced wheels AND R-12. A lot of these "rules" are theories that have been untested yet accepted by many forum members. The fact is, things were done mid-way, haphazardly by Mazda. Some 93s have reinforced wheels, and some 94s don't. Some 94s have R-12, and somes have R-134.
