Very cool, ambitious project! Lemme know if you ever decide to develop up-sized versions. I would totally dig an 18x10/18x11" combo that looked like factory wheels. Though I guess the rest of the car isn't fooling anyone anymore.

I really like the OEM stance and sizing. 17x9.5 squared is perfect for a daily drive "Singer FD" type build. I'm curious if the fenders need to be rolled...
My question is: Do the 93-95 stock Mazda/Efini center caps fit? |
FWIW, don't think fenders need to be rolled with 255s. That's what i run (17x9.5 +42 with 255 RE 11s). I rolled the fenders thinking it'd need it, but there's plenty of room. I do have a little camber, but dont recall the exact setup

Put me down for a set for my 1184 mile FD, because the MS-01S need a break :bubrub: :lol: Ex. SakeBomb Garage - Paid / HyperSilver 1.

Hmm, I'm definitely interested in this! When does the group buy close? I'll be dragging my car to a shop in Cali around June timeframe so I need to save my pennies for that bill right now.. I may be able to work these into that build though.

We'd be HONORED! :party: We can consider additional colors for a second run, but we need some good numbers to do it. It's 15 sets MIN per color. If there's interest / numbers we can make additional colors happen (bronze and satin black were the two we were considering as well). But the current focus is on the meat and potatoes, Gunmetal and Silver. We really appreciate all of the positive feedback you guys... we are only able to do projects like this because of the awesome FD community that we're proud to be a part of. Cheers everyone! Long live the FD! |

Great work SBG. Is there any chance you would consider doing a 17x10 or 17x10.5?

We'll have this running for a bit, but with the current interest and orders coming in on the site we'll run out of inventory before anything else.

This is pretty friggin awesome. Any anticipated fitment issues on stock suspension?
|
What is the suggested tire size both front and rear for the rims? Which color would go better with yellow color RX7?

We're contractually obligated to keep the design/manufacturing company private, but suffice to say they are a VERY PROMINENT forged wheel manufacturer, manufacturing proven track wheels. No cost to quality / engineering / machining was spared here ;)
These wheels were designed from the ground up, using FEA analysis to ensure structural integrity for race use with load ratings specifically for the FD RX7. These wheels are being manufactured to DOT / SAE and JWL / VIA standards, as well as being submitted for impact testing, and drum force durability testing. With the manufacturer we are working with, we're in VERY good hands. We would not stand behind this wheel with any less confidence in the state of the art engineering and manufacturing processes being used! |

quick question, is the entire wheel forged(Face and Barrel)? or just the barrel? (IE flow forging or whatever people want to call it)
|
Same question: Do the OEM/Efini center caps fit these wheels?
Also, can I run 275/40 rear on stock body without any rubbing? |

It'd be nice to ditch the scripts on the caps and rim too. One thing that makes the RZ wheel so nice is how clean and uncluttered it is. If you want to keep the branding you could go with stickers, instead.
