need to find wheels asap

hey "y'all"
i need help finding wheel/tire package for my bf's 94 rx7.
he's gone on a trip, so i brought it outta storage, first thing i noticed about his 7500 mile car is the orig tires are cracking. he's always wanted some "oz" wheels, like were on the peter ferrell rx7 on the cover of a 1994 issue of some magazine.
this car has the peter ferrell performance upgrades, so i'd like to complete his package, since he needs new tires anyway.
where?
anyone got a set? gold 5 star OZ wheels. i looked thru all the big sites that offer wheel tire packages, everytime i found an acceptable wheel, i found out they don't make 'em for the rx7.

i don't mind contacts from retailers/wholesalers, xrannie@att.net.
i'm running outta time, need to at least have them ordered by friday.
help!

THANKS FOR THE ADVICE ON LIFTING IT UP! DID BY SELF! YEAH!

Best advice:

Call Rishie at AutoRND: www.autornd.com

Let him know your budget and wheel style; he'll get you hooked up.

I am selling some used wheels of mine. But not gold.

Finding gold will be tough and in OZ even tougher.

I have some

OZ Monte Carlo 17x8 +38 5x114.3 wheels that I just got powder coated a gray silver.

OZ Competition wheels 18x8.0 +40 5x114.3 wheels with tires.

They are as wide as stock wheels but a great value as well.

Prices do not include Credit Card 3% or shipping.

If you are planning to spend that kind of money, you may as well look at a full custom wheel like JLine:

http://www.jlinewheels.com/

I believe Rishie can also get those...

those are cool, but not for me. lookin for more of a classic look.
dont' want two piece- i am going to buy something that rays is involved with. and- i'm buyin' 17x8 for the front and 17x10 for the rear(or 17x9.5 if cant find the 10s) i'm finding that it's a hard order to fill like that.

he's thinkin of sellin it again.

The 57 Pro is a lot more EXPENSIVE now, and a heavy wheel. FYI.

They will also take about 3 months to get.

send me a PM with the size you want, example of wheel style you like, and a budget please.

rishie -
he wants 17x8 in the front and 17x10 or 9.5 in the rear- basically, the biggest 17" he can get that will fit the fender/quarters without fabricating/body kit.

oz
gram lights
rays
volks

Hi there,

I have to run around today but if you can send me an email or pm with your

SPENDIng BUDGET, that would be greatly appreciated. I'll check stock and get you some quotes for stuff that's in stock and available.

on a side note are you guys willing to wait 3 months to get some of these wheels if not in stock?

Rishie
