Those would be Borbet Type T. I got them from Tire Rack. Fronts are 17x8 and were listed at $179 each I think, and the rears are 17x9.5 and listed for $99 each. I got dealer pricing too, and it dropped it even more. Last time I looked at www.tirerack.com they didnt have the 17x9.5's anymore, so they may have sold out. I hope not incase I ever need to buy more.

Thanks guys! I ran out and took pictures of the PFC holder for you all. It is a cell phone holder, I got it at Wal Mart of all places. I looked at cell phone stores all over and couldn't find anything that was even close to working, but you can always count on Wal Mart! I did a search of my old posts and FOUND where I posted about it. Here's the link..https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...threadid=10290. Here's view number one.

I agree, I'm always looking around for good backgrounds, and I have a couple more good ones in mind, but I'm too lazy to drive there and take the pictures. I happened to be at the race track (as I am pretty much everyday) snapping pictures of the new American Lemans Series prototype models and thought "what better background than the track!? (or the power plant in that first shot)"

Thanks JoeD. Unfortunately you're right, its not a Mazdaspeed one. I wanted that same style, and I was looking on ebay and found a Apexi one that was beautiful. I bid on it, and with like 2 minutes to go I got outbid. I looked forever for another Apexi ****, but finally went back to Ebay and found this one for $20 and just bought it. It uses the 3 screws to hold it on (not my favorite way), but it stay on nicely, and it'll do until I can find an apexi or maybe a mazdaspeed one oorrrr a gunmetal color **** (to match the dash). Hey, its real carbon fiber too.

Haha, there was a time I wouldve done it. I like the C5's a lot. Once I saw the Borbet's on the car though, I fell in love. They may be heavy, but they look .
