So in the 30 minutes between your two threads you bought rims. Awesome! I want to see pics ASAP!

Im thinking about mesh wheels in the future but not sure what they will look like. Are these the 5-spoke wheels from the RX-7's?

he said they have to be shipped..

he said they have to be shipped..

I know. But I would hope he saw some pictures before buying. I can use my imagination for the rest until he puts up his own pictures.

i think i got a good deal..339 shipped and some almost dead tires. if i would have bought from anywhere else it woulda ran me about 4-500 because of the shipping...from there it was 18 a wheel

im not feeelin them bro, are those 17's. just painted rx-7 rims. They look like they where painted with wal-mart spraypaint

 

[Powerslave]

they could be cool though its hard to say till we see them on your car

 

[clos561]

they look good, a guy i know has a black ms3 with the same black rims...apparantly they are powder coated already. but the guy i know with the black ms3 painted them with spray paint and they look good. if i dont like them i could just sell them.

- im really picky about rims and i wouldnt buy if i didnt think they looked good. plus the weight factor...13-16 pounds per rim, and tires for 16's are alot cheaper

 

[ispypsi]

yeah they will fit pretty good i think.

16x8 +50. dunno how they'll look being a bit small on teh car but i'm sure they'll work out great.


and mazsport is a good place. had a friend who worked there a while back. now that i have a mazda, i should probably swing by and say whats up

Those fd rims are pretty damn light. I hope you like sidewall flex though, I'm running 16's with my "sport" winter tires and while they grip fairly well in the dry they are VERY squishy compared to the 18's.

i dont auto cross, so side wall flex wont be a big deal..i dont really haul ass around corners...just long turns i hit about 80 for fun sometimes

[clos561]
