if you could spend 3100 i would look at mazdaspeed mso1 (non mags) their the nicest wheels that fit the rx-7 in my opinion. second only to the ms01mags but those are 5000 something

Among that group I would say the Superleggeras are the wheel that stands out to me.

Although the OZs, Advans, and BBSs are more attractive, being one that takes function over form, I'd personally opt for the Volk TE37s because they are the lightest of the four.

The fact that he's considering the heavier wheels indicates to me that he is willing to deal with the extra weight. This isn't a "what wheel is the lightest" thread. There are plenty of people that buy Volk TE37 wheels not because they're nice and light but because of the style and the name.

Then again, maybe he doesn't know what the other wheels weigh, or weight is not a priority. Personally, I find the TE37s very plain, even generic looking, however, they would be my first option amongst the selection not because of the name or style, but because of its lightness and relative strength.

Advan Sienne Gen. II is just simply BEAUTIFUL. You just have to see it in person. I saw them on a Supra and my jaw dropped...

EDIT: Nevermind, you're only looking at 18's and I'm pretty sure you can only get these up to 17's.

Real Racing Model II



Looks similar to other selections, lightweight, and less common.

Their site almost never works, but if it happens to be up and you want to check sizing:

Anyone has weight specs of these wheels ?
I'm also considering OZ's or BBS, as there are not other good marks (for the buck) around in Europe.

But man... $3100 is hillarious
They're about $300 overhere/piece.
