Show me your Deep dish Rims!
 
I'm gonna be going with a set of chrome rims, and I have made my mind with only a deep dish set. The ones I will be going with will be 8.5 wide, and they will have a 2" dish. I would really like to get an idea of what the deep dish will look like. There are very few pictures of deep dish wheels on the rx7's. Please post any rims that have a deep dish in them.
Thanks for your help.

I don't know about "deep dish", but they have a nice lip on them.

Dayumm! Talk about going deep you guys went all out. I talked around my area and anything beyond 2" is special order. Well here is the picture of the rims I am debating on. The more and more I look at them the more they look like lowrider rims. What do you guys think, to goddy for the rx7. I really like the way they look in comparison to other rims, but mounted on the car may be a different story. The good thing is they are 8.5 inches wide. I did a photoshop and they looked pretty nice.

No not a joke! I want some chrome and deep dish. I just don't know if these are it, what I don't like is so many damn spokes. They look good as a rim, hard to tell if it would look right on an RX7. I like flashy so I think it might work. Just don't want a damn lowrider look.

lopedl 12-15-04 01:23 PM

double post!

Dude, really....before you go buy those for your FD go buy the ADR M-Sport....They are deep dish and you can get them in 18 x 8.5 and 9.5...I belive they have them in chrome since you like that.

i can see the new thread title now..

"Hey Guys, Check out my new wheels!"

https://i12.ebayimg.com/02/i/02/f6/3a/c0_1_b.JPG


Followed by:

- Why the fuck did you buy those?

- Jesus Christ, those are ugly!

- Bwwwwaaaahahahahhaaha

- They're nice, If your name is Fernandez and you drive a pickup truck with hydrolics

- ^^^ i'm with stupid

- Holy Mary Mary mother of God!

- Did they come with the lighted valve caps?


But really...You should never let anyone on the forum sway your decision...After all, it's your car, not theirs. As long as you are happy...GO FOR IT!

Hey, did you ever tell us what the history was behind the wheel and how it had something to do with the rotary or something like this? I was waiting. Maybe after i hear that they will appeal to me more.

Thanks, but I really don't like the snowflake style. I'll probably end up going with a star, instead. Just can't make up my mind. Yeah I really don't want my car to end up looking like a lowrider, that's the last thing I want to do. But I'm burned out on stars and snowflake style, wanted to spice it up a little, but not enough to make it look like a jalepeno.

jeremyb 12-15-04 03:55 PM

Apnea I don't get it lol. But if you're saying they're nice, then I'm with stupid. But if you're putting them down. Then I guess I'm just stupid hehe. What kind of wheels are those anyway? I can't really see the name on the center cap. Maybe if they were gun metal or something they'd look even better.

I took your guys advise, and passed on the rims. They do look like lowrider rims in person, and obviously wasn't going for that look. I have been still looking around got till end of February to have found a set. I know this is probably rediculous but has anyone gone with 19's. I'm curious to see how they look fitted.

I have a set of 19 inch Racing Hart C2's. They fit the wheel well perfectly IMHO. I dont know how to post pics but I could email some to you to give you an idea of what they look like.

Also, search for LT1-7. His car was running 19 inch Volks and there are a ton of pics of them on this forum

FDNewbie 01-04-05 10:02 AM

Rex, how's ride quality & handling w/ the 19s?

The ride isnt as bad as I thought it would be. I always have to keep in mind that the stock FD still makes you feel every little pebble in the road (at least compared to my Accord). The handling changed a bit when I went to 19's. On a sunny day, grip is great and the car feels great. Rainy days are a little scary. The wide tires combined with the lightweight car makes for a nervous ride.:D

Really though, the only big difference is the road noise. Those 275s sure make a nice humming sound.:D
