Colored rims?

[clownphish]

Hi! I saw an RX-7 yesterday coming back from Arlington VA w/some really cool rims. They were annodized red around the lip, black on the spokes and red again at the center cap. When seen from a 3/4 view they looked like they were shining gleaming red - just beautiful. Anyway, does anyone know a website or who might sell rims that have color in them (tastefully done, mind you, I've seen the Speed w/the orange wheels (puke) )? Thanks a lot!

OMG eeterp you are the MAN! (rockon) That is exactly the car I saw! Thanks so much for the links - I'll check them out. I don't think they'd look as good on a P5 as an RX7 but damned if they didn't catch my eye and hold on tight! Thanks again!

not to change the subject of the thread but, I was wondering where in Arlington you were at? I live in Arlington and if I knew you were in town, I'd have invited you over..

How can I find out if they would fit a P5? I've been checking around the web but I don't know the wheel specs specifics of the Advans and our wheels. Help please! Thanks!

Oh nuh uh!!! Damn, girl I gotta come visit you sometime! My mom lives off of 11th Ave/St (?) near the courthouse. I was only there for an hour or two, not feeling well, had to go home and sleep - didn't get to bed until 4:45 the night before. We'll have to get together some time though. PM me!

this place has many wheel specs:

OR this place lets you search by size, weight, color, lugs, etc:

I THINK you have a 5x100 lug arrangement. These rims only come in 5x114.3 or 4x100

Advan Generation II are kinda similar and do come in 5x100

P5's have 5x114.3

Cool, so drumsbeloud, you're saying they'll fit then?

Thanks again eeterp for the links. I'll check them out and bookmark them.

Thanks a bunch for your help guys!

ok...thanks for clearing that up. if that's the case, then P5's have a TON of wheel options.

Hmmm... that IS a nice looking rim... but I'm looking for red mainly. Does anyone know any others, I've been searching esmackmotors and google all day, no luck. I really liked the Advan Racing SA 3Rs but they're a little too pricey. Thanks for the help! I'll keep lookin'....

 

[eeterp]

fyi, you can always buy a rim you like and have part or all of it powdercoated any color you like.

Hrmmm... now that's a great idea! Any clue on how much it usually runs and how long it lasts? Is it permanent or will it chip off at all? Thanks!
