1999 FD wheels
I was wondering if anyone had bought the 1999 FD wheels and what they weigh. I like the look, sort of like the 1991 5 spoke but with narrower spokes. Also since Mazda **** about weight, I'd guess the weight of them is kept to a minimum when compared to the aftermarket 17 inch rims. Anybody know what they weigh? Its the 17x8 front 17x8.5 rear wheels (which you can see at rx-7.com under the 3rd gen section, 99 update pics).
Thanks

If anyone was looking for a set of 99spec wheels there is a set on ebay for 1299.00. Not bad considering that includes shippin from Japan. Here is the link.

this is off the subject but are you the same tim benton that wrote a letter to scc about thier lack of rotary content ? b/c that was pretty funny . and its true they neglect rotary , but it doesnt bother me .

I just got my spec 99 rims and promptly weighed them at the post office. front 17x8 with the old wheel weights on them weighed 16.5 pounds, and the 17x8.5 with the old wheel weights still on weight 17 lbs. So from the other posts its looks like there's some variance on these rims, just like the stock FD rims we have in the U.S.
