That's the plan. Gotta see if I like them more than the current stock wheels on my car

I want to replace the Hankooks on the new wheels with the Dunlops on my old wheels... other than that I am pleased with my purchase. $250

Before:







New on back, old on front:






After (I'll try to get some better pics tomorrow when the car isn't boxed in):

JDM RX-7 wheels off of the 3rd Gens. Not sure what specific model or years... 16x8 just like my original wheels.

They're off the 99+ cars. They switched to those wheels when they did the rest of the body change stuff.

That is correct. A Nissan guy had them on his 240sx. Knew what they were off of but sold em for $250 with the tires.

That's the only reason I bought them =) Couldn't pass up such a great deal. I'd rather be spending my checks on a new engine and turbo =)

lol If I were planning on selling them I'd up the price and make myself a profit. BUT I like them so much I'm keeping them. And as soon as I swap out the tires from my old wheels I will be selling my old wheels t=with the Hankooks that are on the 99specs
