So 8'a or 9's are better for the rx7? Where would be the best place to look? I found a few others on ebay but everything is a friggen 7... i was hoping for 7's in front then 8's in back because i didnt think 9's would fit in back without rolling the fenders.

I am looking for more like the mesh style and am trying to decide a color for my car as well. I was thinking something maybe a pearl white or a bronze something lighter most likely for the car thats why i thought maybe gunmetal or black rims would contrast nicely. Anyone have pics of their aftermakret rims on an FC.

A place that doesn't specialize in Honda rims....there is a whole thread on FC wheel fitment here. You'll find people running up to 10" in the rear with little or no problems. 8" wide is the norm for first upgrades....factroy TII rims were 16x7 BTW.

Unless you are racing on the track buy whatever looks good to you and fits your wallet. Konigs are fine for street purposes.

I was looking into some sort of mesh because I think mesh really makes the fc's stand out. Im sick of the lame 5 spoke bullshit everyone has. what if they werent black would that make a difference?

I have had 5 spokes on my civic for 4 years now and everyone has the same lame *** rims. Why would you go different then some sort of BBS mesh or something along those lines on these cars. I love that tons of the FD guys are doing the mesh style. Anybody that has rims on there car post up pics so people like me can get an idea.
