Looking to put new wheels on my rx7

I was looking to buy either these

MB Wheels


Enkei RSV


or these Konig Next


Out of these three sets of wheels which would look better on my 88 RX7. The car is black so im choosing to go with the bronze wheels.

Also what size should i get the wheels and what tire size.

The car is completly stock, and is not dropped just to let you all know.

give me some suggestions..

I got my wheels off of ebay 17" adr's which weight 22 lbs. I went with the 215-45-17 in front and 225-45-17 in the rear, the rims are 17x7. Im dropping my car 1.5" so I went with the 215's in the front so I didnt have to run spacers. BTW my cars getting painted next month and im going with a rattlesnake black pearl/black red pearl.

well i definately love the bronze look over chrome, id leave chrome as a last result if i had no choice... but either way. if i chose the 17's what would be the lowest i can drop the car, and still be able to drive rub free in the front.

well I believe with the 215's your are gonna be pushing it at 1.5" drop, but theres other things you can consider like getting a different offset other then the 40 offset I have. I will be close with the 215's on my car w/o running spacers in the front that is.

Ya the MB's are a good wheel for FC. The others are probably whack widths. The MB i think has a good width for the FC. Get the evo fitment. Probably 17x8 +35ish.

those mb are ugly, I think the enkeis are the nicest of what you posted. Why not get some work emo's tho? Emo's would look hot on an fc and they are pretty cheap too.

i firmly belive that construction durability materials and then weight should be the contributing factors before looks. just my words of wisdom
