what rims should I get for my 79 RX-7?

Hi guys,

I was wondering what rims I should get for my rx. I kind of want something more oldschool, but if you think a rim looks good and its not oldschool then please post it. i don't want something to expensive. I was also wondering what offset meant on rims too? If you could get pictures that would be great. thanks

IMO the best old school is panasport or others that look like them.

The original was the RS Watanabe 8 spokes... Panasport knocked them off with the MiniLights... The König knocked the Panasports off with the Rewinds... LOL.

Note on the Panasports, if you can find a set for a good deal... The Race version "UltraLights" are 9lbs per wheel.... They ARE NOT ROAD LEGAL and are stenciled "For Racing Purpose Only" on the rim. They will not hold up in a wreck or against potholes.
