Best looking wheels for an Rx-7
 
What do you think are the best looking wheels on a 3gen rx-7. post pictures of wheels here. I'm getting a 3gen soon and i want to get some cool rims for it. Give me different costs to so i can see what set is best for what i want to spend.

Everyone will obvoiusly vote for their own wheels ...or vote for stock rims because that's what they have.:bootyshak

My vote Kinesis K58's...

Gman094 12-02-01 08:05 PM

very nice indeed. how much were they? post a picture when you get em on your car.

ARD T2 12-03-01 12:04 AM

Yes, please do tell. I'd like to know sizes and offsets. As well as the formal name for the finish.

I want to compare price with my local distributor, if you don't mind, please indulge me with the price. THose rims are sweet, almost thought they were Volk LE's for a second.

See ya, Rishie

I havent't seen any pics of them but I think the Gewalt (sp?) Evolutions would look AWESOME.

Johnny's right. Stock wheels look the best, but only with a bunch of curb scrapes on 'em. On the fronts, especially. Sweet! Approximate cost: $50.

Gman094 12-03-01 06:33 PM

shit you don't need to pay 50 bucks for curb scratches . send the wheels to me and i will do it for free.

m0t03 12-03-01 09:55 PM

I've been looking for rims for a while and this are my absolute favorit. I will be getting them come this spring. tell me what you think.

A friend I went to high school with now lives in Japan. He has alot of connects down there and he got me a great price on them.
He gets me great stuff for cheap, even with shipping in mind. If anyone is interested I can keep you in the loop just email me and every once and awhile I'll send out an email on any deals he comes across 0piston@home.com

As far as sizes go there is a huge range from 17*8-18*10 in alot of different offsets. But the Japanese retail price on the 18"s with tax is about 260,000 yen minus any shipping, I got them for about 170,000 yen = 1400US

0piston 12-04-01 12:02 AM

Here is a pick for m0T03 ;)

Johnny 12-04-01 08:25 AM

I' ve seen a car at my buddies shop...with those rims in 18's...they are heavy as hell...is the only drawback. Over 50 pounds with tires..for sure. I'm trying to keep my 18"combo under 50lbs... and I think I will succeed..

95R2-89TII Ground Zero 12-04-01 11:04 AM

How much were they and where did you get them? What size...and with what tire combo?

I 've gotten 18*8 front 18*9 rear
They are 20-22 pounds a piece.

approximate comparisons:
Blitz type 03 25 pounds a piece
SE37K 15 pounds a piece

95R2-89TII Ground Zero I got them from a friend in Japan.

m0t03 12-04-01 12:40 PM

Are the Advan model 5's 50lbs? I really like the pic as far as looks go they get my vote:D

Johnny 12-04-01 01:59 PM

with tires I bet they will be pretty close....(50lbs)...
we weighed some (w/tires) and got 52 pounds...

not sure on the width, but they where 18's for sure..tires where yokohama avs sports..

Orange!FD 12-04-01 02:37 PM

Well yeah, it's cheap if you already have stock wheels, but right now I only have some 17" Advan VS-5s.
