What rims are on this C-West RX7??



Thanks Gun

 

konig toxxins...

dont do it

 

Uh guys you do know you are looking at a Sparco AD.

Those are Sparco NS-II Vipers!!!!!! Konig that crap company copied them.

 

Those dont look half bad.. they a quality wheel??

 

It has to be imported from Japan. 17" start at $3300 for the set and go from there. It is a two piece wheels unlike the cheap Konig one piece that is.

 

Well crap.. thats expensive... what exactly are the benefits of 2 peice over 1 peice??

 

well...say if you bend the lip, you can just repair/replace it instead of the entire wheel. that's one benefit.

 

yeah...the real Sparcos are costly. but if you want the same look, you could get the cheap Konigs that are knockoffs of the original. and the Konigs will be lighter, since if you want 18s, the largest size is 18x7.5. that way, you could be rollin on some 215mm wide tires. that better since there is less drag with that as opposed to a wider tire, so you have less road noise and possibly higher top speed.

 

LOL, my moms Camry is rolling on 215's.

If you want any traction I personally wouldn't recommend putting 215's on an RX-7. But that's just me. Also what is the stock rim width? Should be at least 8 or 9 no? Stock tire width is what? 235-245? So why would you put a 7.5" rim on it? Just my opinion.

But I dont own an RX-7 Will someday though!

 

stock rim is 16x8 shod with a 225/50-16 tire. why would some outfit an FD with narrower tires rims?? you might wanna ask a certain someone on this forum with an FD rolling on 18x7.5 Konigs. but i wont get into that though.

 

Thanks, AARotary. I thought they were probally Sparcos by the picture, but wasn't sure because I never heard of them. But for 17" at $3300 I probaly have to pass.
