Crazy 3rd Gen Wheel Idea/Awesome SSR Integrals for Sale Soon
Hi guys,
I'm still in search of a kickass Wheel combo for my RX-7 w/the new advanced design suspension (still isn't on BTW), and was wondering if anyone has tried adapting Porsche wheels to the RX-7...
How close is the offset/bolt pattern? I'm thinking of the lightweight/pretty 18x10" 5-spoke Twin Turbo rims, stock take off,
hopefully chrome, and hopefully for <$2000. If they'll fit properly, and if the weight is decent, this might make a really beautiful and unique combo. :]
Possible? Impossible? Just plain stupid? <GRIN> Opinions wanted. (I'm also wide open to other suggestions for 17x10/18x10 wheels in a 5-spoke or BBS Style mesh design that are polished or chromed for <$600/wheel).
Thanks again!
(I'll also most likely be posting my SSR Integrals w/P7000s for sale fairly soon, god I love em, but really want something wider now that I can fit it!)

Dozer,
Anything can be done given enough money, but i think you will find that a porsche wheel just aint gonna happen. It has a 130mm bolt circle i believe. Our Fds have a 114.3mm bolt circle. the offsets are close i think, like 50 to 60mm. the 4wd cars have a 60 or 70mm offset i think. dont hold me to these numbers but i think im close. my friend has a carrera4 and we just got new Fikses for him so i has listening to all these numbers he was throwing around so thats where im getting my info from. Anyway it is a cool idea let me know if you find out anything more

Hi,
I would also be interested in purchasing those SSR Integrals. BTW, are they the anthracite coloured wheels? And what is the rim size?
Thanks,
A.j.
