I DID AND SOON AS THEYE HEARD ROAD RACE WHEEL....No Way.
They didnt have it in my size For the Bridgestones Asphalt compound

16x16 and 16x15 is all they had.

 

Hi guys thanks for all your info,

I called Kodiak racing wheels and talk to the girl there for 20 minuets.
She was really informative and said that her boss was a really cool guy and he is a x racer that could never find the right wheels for the cars he drove for the Tires he needed to compete. His normal job was a machinist so he started making his own Wheels and there you have it.

They will make any Size wheel To “any Size bolt pattern” Did I say ANY SIZE!!!!! = )

There the only ones that was mentioned above ^ that met my Needs
There pricing is on there web-page.
Here is a photo of the Wheel that I picked out and should look grate on a 3 Gen, RX7 (I hate saying the FD Oh so 007 Hahaha!) And they where under my budget for wheels. Next after 2 weeks there build time We will make are own wide body for the wheels and tires.

Thanks again.

 

I know bogart makes custom road race wheels.

 

cool ... glad to help out

 

What tires are you running, I have goodyears, and the widest they make in a 16" is a 27x14x16. I run one size down on my FC, 24.5x13x16. Are you going to run an Avon?

 

The 24.5x13x16 only require a 16x12 wheel. Both Kodiak, and Keizer are good choices, I use Real Racing, but that was because Keiser, and Kodiak were an 8-12 week wait when I bought my first set. Before going that wide, you will want to do a little studying of the 3rd gens suspension geometry, also, check tire availability, you will be waiting forever to get those tires, as they are special order everywhere(assuming you are going wider than a 14" tire). Also, what diameter are you looking at, even the 14" is 27" high. You will look like a 4 wheel drive if your not careful Carl

 

I have 3 sets of tires and 2 sets on the way.

There Bridgestone road race tire 350/680/16 med/ asphalt tire there in very limited production
That’s all I want to tell on Here. Your right they take a long time to get them and very expensive. Note the silicone pray to keep the air off them and plastic bagged and covered.
