Angry Wheel suggestions please.

I need suggestions for wheels for my 91 TII. I want to run either 17"X7.5" fronts and 17"X8.5" rears or 17"X8 fronts and 17"X9" rears. Can't seem to find ANY wheels that cost around $350 or less. Please help!!

Heres what I found:

SSR comps: Makes me drool, they come in the sizes I want, but will they fit (offsets). Are they streetable? I dont want a rim to bend on me, I heard some Miata guys had trouble with these on the street bending. If I can get a deal on these I'll get them

Enkie RPO1's: Perfect fitment No longer produced

Enkie RPM2: like em, but I'd prefer something with a lip.

Any Volks: $$$$$ <-- too much , except Gram lights, I love them, but wrong offsets??

Like I said, suggestions please..

Thanks, -Mike....

As you now know, we can definitely fit these on a second gen FC3S, just in case anyone pulls this up at a later time.

These wheels are made in a good fitment.

Can do 17,7.5 front and 8.5 or 9.5 in the rear.

Mike's getting a set BTW.

You can probably find an old set of Blitz wheels for it. They aren't too expensive... i'd look in parts trader and on Ebay for rims for your car.

Well, my exhaustive search is over!!! I'm getting the Ray's Gram lights in gunmetal (17x7.5f 17X8.5r ) . Rishie (aka: ARD T2 ) is hooking me up with a HELLA KILLER DEAL!! If your looking for any wheels, be it 1st, 2nd, 3rd gen's talk to Rishie, he knows his wheels and is a advant Rx-7 lover as we are. Ohh, and he gives the best deals, forum members get a discount . I shop all the time before purchasing anything, Rishie by far always was the cheapest.

Richie, Rishie. Tomato Tomauto. I don't mind Richie, but Richard gets to me a little. Kinda weird like that.

Thanks for the correction John,

Rishie

Thanks for the plug Mike.
