New wheels on the Rx-7(old school content)

[87 Turbo II]

Ok, this is the first appearance mod for the Rx-7 I've really done. After 3 months of wheel deals falling through I finally got a set. I'm pretty pleased with the results. Just wondering n opinions, I like them either way, so I'm not looking for "approval" just want to know if you think it's an upgrade.

They're 13X6 with a +15 offset (the offset is perfect for htis car, they sit really flush over the stock 13X5 +20)

Before(with 185/70R/13):

Gangster now just clean up that rust a lil

[Revmaynard]

Nice wheels. Just clean that rust up and get some center caps.

[87 Turbo II]

Yeah I know I need to. Rust sucks, and I think it's gonna be hard to find centercaps that'll account for that bulge in the front wheel hubs.

[Revmaynard]

Luckily my stock center caps fit my Toyota rims perfectly.

[87 Turbo II]

Yeah, you are lucky, and htose Toyota wheels look hot. I bought these without center caps and have no idea of the brand. I can measure the diameter of the whole, but the problem is on the read wheels, there is a thin space for where the cap can fit into and on the front there is this little bullet shaped bulge I'd have t get over. I might just pull the wheels, sand the hubs a bit and spray them. Ghetto, but it'd look better than it does now.

[FasTech]

I like them... They look good on your car and x3 on the rust!

[Revmaynard]

That could look better. Just make sure the hubs finish is nice before you paint it. I'm a sucker for old school mesh rims.

aww it's sad to hear that they were beyond restoring. These wre hard to find as first gen Rx-7s have an insanely uncommon bolt pattern of 4 by 110 and super short studs.

Finding these babies was hard:

-I got my money stolen on the first set I tried to buy.
-2nd set, the guy was supposed ot send them COD so I wouldn't lose my money,m but after a month he just stopped replying to my PMs
-3rd set I bought of a local guy at zoom fest but after spending hours restoring them, and $70 in paint stripper, paint, clear, and sandpaper, I found out they were 4 by 100
-4th set is what you see here in this thread on my car, the guy who sold me the 4 by 100s gave them to me because of the mistake, he had 2 sets of meshies and forgot which ones came off his old Rx-7.

I am selling the 4 by 100s. 13 by 6 mesh
