5Zigen.. maybe. They're the lowest end of popular Japanese rims.
Motegi is one of those ricer brand knockoffs, along with ADR, Exel, Rota, Nippon, Axis.. basically avoid anything they sell at wheelmax.

He said motegi didn't he? 
red cars look pretty sick with gunmetal wheels or black wheels. Volk has a very nice selection of wheels. What ever you do..do not buy some cheap wheels (motegi) for the Rx-7. I've seen people do it before and it looks like crap. Advan also makes some nice wheels you might want to check out as well as work.

Personally I prefer the SSR Integral A2 just because I LOVE the look, and it's not too bad on weight either.
It all depends on what you're doing with the wheel - drag/track/street whatever, as far as "best" wheel for the FD. Also depends on looks (definately a big factor) and how much you want to spend. From here on out it's personal preference

These are 17X9 and only weigh 17.8lbs each. Racing Sparco NT-Rs, and they come in Bronze, White and Black. I recently picked up a set of the Bronze ones pictured here:

But the only real 5zigen wheel that's forged (IIRC) and lightweight is the FN-01R. Not the FN-01RC which are cast.

My 9 x 17, 45-mm SSR Integral A2 weighs 19.2 lbs with centering ring and valve stem installed. With P-Zero 255/40-17 the wheel/tire weighs <42 lbs.
