I'm getting an RX-7 this coming spring and I have always liked these rims, would they look good if I painted the car yellow? That's my plan

Thanks



I want Gun Metal though, not white, If I paint it Yellow

more importantly.... how much do they weigh in the size you want?
Finding out the weight of particular rims has greatly helped me eliminate about 80% of those out on the market.

i don't think those wheels look good imho. and weight matters a lot too. When you go from the light stock alloys to heavier wheels, the difference is felt.

i dont like single colored rims, expecially white

GsrSol

Are you saying you like rainbow colored rims?

Not my car, but that will give you an idea of what white rims would look like on a yellow FD.

IMO, they don't look bad at all. Not sure how they will look when they get dirty, or how hard they will be to keep clean though...

you would be doing your car a dis-service by putting those wheels on it. You'd be ricing it out IMO. If you need to go white than try maybe the Volk TE-37. Light and white.

I've got white TE37s on my VR R-1. They look great on it but keeping them clean is another matter entirely.

No..get these... FORGED MAGNESIUM WHEEL "MS-01 MAG"

TThe MS-01MAG is a forged magnesium wheel developed jointly by Mazdaspeed and Rays Co., Ltd., a top wheel manufacturer with whom we have worked on many racing cars. Compared to aluminum, magnesium offers significantly better strength and durability for the same weight, and forging produces an ideally even, high-density material. Difficult processing has so far limited magnesium to only a handful of automotive products, but we selected it for the MS-01MAG in order to simultaneously achieve substantial weight savings (approximately 7.5 kilograms per wheel) and significant reliability gains. The result is a large reduction in the unsprung weight of the car. Like the other members of the MS-01 series, the MS-01MAG uses a five-spoke design for better brake cooling effect, and its gold coloring gives the RX-7 a taut, powerful body line from the ground up.
MS-01 is the generic name for street-ready five-spoke wheels that follow the same basic design as the magnesium wheels that were fabricated exclusively for the Mazda 787B prototype racing car in the Group C. The MS-01MAG is closer to the original Mazda 787B wheels than any other member of the series, and represents the pinnacle of road-going wheels for this model.

The MS-01MAG is designed exclusively for the flagship Mazda RX-7 (FD3S) sports car and comes only in an 18-inch version.
