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.

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.

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!"




Followed by:

- Why the **** 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.
