(My Opinion) these are the sharpest looking wheels on a RX-7 (I know this is the FD forum, but this is a wheel question). Please let me know who makes them and what model they are. Thanks for your help, pictures loading......

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ... they look like BBS -- BBS makes lots of different mesh wheels. They also look like something that RAYS used to make, I forget the brand label that they used. Take a look at BBS and I think you'll find what you're looking for. They may also have the "moda" name on them.

They do, Randy, in that they are 8-part mesh 3-piece with the stud things around the rim, but the center is different.

Those are not the volk III. I have those on my Rx-7. Not BBS RSII either. I have those on my Lexus GS400. It can be nippon racing. I have seen thier ad in the turbo magazine or Sport Compact car.

Thanks to all who replied. They are the RacingHart C2 Three Piece, thanks to "Alpine".



Thanks,

So are either one high quality? I always thought RacingHart were well manufactured, but have never owned a set. Which onese are the "knock Off's"?

Thanks,

I don't think so, the rims in the picture at the top have cast centers and spokes, you can see that they are rounded on the edges.... the C2's have sharp edges. I think they are very similar but not exactly the same.

no, theyre not c2's, the wheels in the pic have spade shaped indents around the centercaps like the volk 3s. they are probably knockoffs, from nippon racing or adr.
