Best looking wheels for Fb?
Hey all, I have been thinking about getting some wheels for my 1981 FB. Does anyone have some ideas or inspo? Here is my car...
https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...6a8dad6f4c.jpg Does anyone have a car with the same color on some wheels? Want to see what some good options are. Also are 7s ok in the front and 8s in the rear? I don't want to rub. I know something similar has been asked in the past but can't find a good reference image. Thank you all! Excited to hear from you all and see some builds. -Mateo |
Unfortunately these days you will probably have to settle with whatever you can find in the 4x110 bolt pattern. Fortunately there are some good looking wheels out there. Konig Rewinds are a solid option, I have a set of these they look pretty good. Also Rota makes a set I believe. In my opinion the best looking ones out there are the 80s and 90s wheels. A set of gold mesh wheels would look awesome on your car. Just search around for 4-110 wheels, I Believe the offset on my rewinds is +20.

I just put König Rewinds on mine. 15x7 4x110 20mm offset and 15 x 50 x195. The195s won't rub. You could put 205's on the rear but I wanted all the same size. All stock suspension.

The best looking wheels for the FB are the factory 13s.......

15x7 BBS mesh wheels are the best wheels followed by Panasport wheels in 15x7. Just my opinion.

Nice car and good to meet you. :nod:
Panasports would be sick, but like mentioned, 4x110 is a bitch to find. Sorry I'm not too familiar with 1st gens. What's the consensus on a set of spacers to convert it to 4x100 and open up all the Civic and Miata wheels? It seems like that'd be the call if there's room.. something like this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/25606667243...Bk9SR_yl9P7MYg |
i love a good 14" LE mesh

15 x 7 4x114.3 Rota RB wheels, the Panasport look, without the Panasport price gets my vote.

I had long wheel studs on my car with about a 1/2” wheel spacer on the front, no spacers on the rear.

I agree with the mesh/Panasports suggestions. I had Konig Rewinds and now have Panasports I ordered through MazdaTrix. |
My faves in no particular order:
SSR Formula Mesh RS Watanabe Panasport Classic Hoshino Impul Work Equip 01 Hayashi Command Longchamp XR4 BBS RS Kosei K1 *Ronal Bears |

Are you running spacers or longer lugs?

Found myself partial to a set of Formula Mesh I was lucky to find

unpopular opinion: I dont like how 15" or larger wheels look on the stock wheel arch.

No, stock GS/GSL struts/rear axle with no spacers.
Front tires 195/50/15 and rear 205/50/15 lowered on coilovers. Zero rubbing and awesome to daily drive! I think there is probably room to go up to 1/2" lower also. |
