I'm shooting for after memorial day. Broke as a joke right now, so they will wait a week.

I've already seen that site, I'm not spending $17.50 PER CAP. I'm sorry but **** NO! If I were gonna spend that much I might as well get these:

Yeah, cuz spending $18 is just like spending $153....(eyeballs)

Anybody need a spare FD wheel? I'm selling my warped wheel:

It can be repaired, I just can't afford to get it fixed.

[Tungsten6]

I picked mine up through a WTB in CL.. turns out the guy new my MSP buddy who lives less than a mile away.

The spec on both versions are the same, other than weight. They do look just a TINY bit different, but I only know this because I stared at them for HOURS last week. The color is also a tad different. One is like 13.8 lbs, the other is 15.4.

(numbers are what I've heard, I can't confirm)

 

[808MP5]

yeah those numbers are correct...
13.8 and 15.4 there's some difference there
i would wanna know which ones i had exactly... i would want the lighter ones for sure

Mazda RX7 FD3S - Cast - 15.4lbs
Mazda RX7 FD3S(PFD) - Cast(Brittle) - 13.8lbs

 

[Matt V]

I have the lighter non-reinforced ones, which is most likely the reason that one wheel was warped. It's not surprising though considering that the wheels are 17 years old.

 

[Wagonbacker9]

I've got a pair of each... LOL throw the reinforced ones on the front, and I should be all set.

 

[Matt V]

New wheel FTW.

 

[Wagonbacker9]

factory finish FTL.

[/bias] LOL

 

[njaremka]

New wheel FTW.

yeah! now those bastards on the car... ASAP!

 

[Matt V]

Honestly if I had the money I would've bought 3 more from the place I ordered them from, I really like the finish these have. Unfortunately it's the reinforced wheel so I have 3 non-reinforced and one reinforced.

 

[Wagonbacker9]

honestly... you at a difference of 1.6 lbs, the reinforced version is worth the peace of mind.

 

[Matt V]

If I get the funds later on I might just buy 3 more of them so that the finish matches. $130 shipped per wheel isn't bad at all IMO.

[Matt V]

I bought them from here:

I think I'm gonna order 3 more soon depending on how much more insurance money I get.
