Old school Rx wheels
I was surfing and found somebody selling a set of dealer installed rims for Rx-2 and Rx-3.
I use to have a brocure that had these units on both model cars. Does anybody remember the ad I am talking about.
eBay Old school rim auction.
The center caps said Mazda on them and they were chrome plated plastic.

He found them in his warehouse and knows nothing about them but says they're older Mazda wheels with 4x110 pattern. The only wheels that I know of from the factory on the early rotarys were the stamped steel ones. I've had several 3's and 4's and they all had steel wheels.

From the factory you got steel wheels with hub caps or painted steel wheels with the rally trim package (beauty rings and chrome center caps).
I will dig up a old dealer brocure/ factory ad if you want to lay out some money.

Old Mazda brochure
Hey, I decided to bust out the brochures. I have them from 1972 thru 1974, all of them show off the aluminum 4 spoke wheels on both Rx-2 and Rx-3.
The 1974 Rx-4 was sporting aluminum spoke/mesh wheels.

Hmmm...If the spokes were concave instead of convex I think they would look cool. Unfortunately, they're kinda dorky looking as they are. I'll stick with my Libres and ?Unidentifiables?.
