I think those are Racing Harts from Japan (but I could be wrong). I see that particular wheel in the "Option" magazines all the time.

I'm not sure, but they look like they could be Advan Kruezer series V:

Haha.. Nice guess. But he only thing the same about those two rims are the fact that they are 5 stars.

This is really pissing me off now though. I'm gonna try and find them. I have about 20 wheels sites to sift through.

They are actually a Sparco wheel my friend has them on his yellow IS300 in black and they look great.

Hope that helps not sure on the model number or name though.

Hehehehe, that was funny- "only thing the same about those two rims are the fact that they are 5 stars."

That's exactly what I was thinking and then I say you already wrote that.

Better get some big *** brake hardware for that wheel, otherwise you'll be showing off small brakes (sort of like showing off small genitals )

I'm going to go against the crowd here and say, for some reason I don't care for those rims.

these wheels were available from discount tire direct for $240 each in 9 x 17, 45 mm offset. perfect for fd rx7 with 255/40-17s all around. the bronze finished pictured above are $240 for 9 x 17, 45-mm offset, 5-114.3 bolt pattern. they're also available in black for $233 same wheel dimensions. with prices like that, it's no wonder discount tire direct is completely out of stock lol. for more info visit www.discounttiredirect.com do a search for '93 to '95 rx7, and click on 17s. search by widths, and scroll to the bottom, and you'll find these in "17 x 9, 5-114.3, 45 mm offset"

btw i'm not sure about the weights of these wheels are, but my guess is that the sparco nt-rs are very light...perhaps 18 to 19 lbs for 9 x 17, 45 mm offset (on par with ssr integral a2s/gt-1s)? someone verify for us, please!

this thread shows the 9 x 17 racing sparco nt-rs are 17.2 lbs each. this is light for a cast wheel. these will be perfect for autocross or road race. racers are always looking for light, cheap, wide wheels that don't cost a fortune lol

i guess i'll wait for discount tire direct to re-stock eh...
