They have a 3 pc version of that rim I believe and it looks better if you like the 3 pc look. Get 8.5 in front and 9.5 in the rear. 8 's all around will look sissy. If you are bent on being able to rotate tires go with 9.5's all around but you will sacrifice performance. Keep in mind that most high performance tires are directional anyway. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Thanks for your reply.
Well, my shop says that 8" is the widest the RK goes so the BBS RK story ends here...
I read the pages on http://www.scuderiaciriani.com/rx7/ and yes, i should go for 8.5" (F) and 9.5" (R).
I'll look around for rims on Internet but since i live in Europe, e.g. the Fikse wheels are out of reach. :O(
Anybody recommendations which rims i should buy and where (Internet site)? I do NOT care if i must buy through Internet with my VISA but don't know any good and reliable shops.
P.S.
Sometimes we wish we had the money to fly with the Rex to the USA and have it modded. There isn't even a shop here in this overcrowded country that sells APEXi. "Greddy... Fikse... huh??? What's that???" is the only answer i got from shops over here.

K, another question:
The Speedline type 1908 SC is nice too and our local dealer has them.
The only change is that they are 18"ers so what tire size would you recommend if:
18"x8,5" in front and
18"x10" in the back?
I want to have the original diameter from the standard wheel on the front.

You think these rims look good under a FD?
I think about buying them (17") for my FD...
Shop says that 8" wide is enough for 255 in front and 255 in the rear (Bridgestone S02 PP)
Is 225 front and 255 rear a good setup?
Or somebody here around with these rims? If yes, pics please...

Joch die rims (speedline) zijn gaaf. Wat is de prijs voor een combo 18x10 en 18x8.5? Ik ben geintereseerd. Kan jij mij ook een adres sturen van een shop die rims verkoopt met telefoon# en email adress. Ik heb 2 Mim speedlines 18x10 en ik ben op zoek naar 2 17x8.5 of 18x8.5. Deze model wordt niet meer in de states verkocht. Het zijn Italiaanse rims. Ik probeer een foto te attachen maar het lukt mij niet. Afwachtend op een positief antwoord verblijf ik,

(1 dollar = ~2.38 Dutch Guilders...)But they are nice. These magnesium wheels look very good under our Innocent Blue FD.
[edit] The price is with Bridgestone S02 PP 235 F and 255 R [/edit]
I got an email from BBS:
<br /> The information that you have... RX 202<br />

Hello RX7.NL.
You can get OZ Racing SaturnPlus in 17x8.5 and 17x10, these should be available in Holland.
225/45ZR17 for front and 255/40ZR17 or 265/40ZR17 for rear are ok.
If you need Apex parts let me know as I sell them here in Malta.
