Title: Help!!! What Rims!!
Post by: Tyson007 on January 07, 2006, 06:59:29 PM
We have now got our beloved tango\'d RX7 and it looks great, even took it out for a drive in the snow! :Santa

We had Black Diamond drilled and grooved discs fitted today, so now we can at least stop, well almost as we need rubber :burnout

We all so went shopping for booties for our little RX7, but we were disappointed with the choice available :confused: . R-Tec are ordering us some in but do you have any recommendations on what wheels to go for and where to get them from?

Pics would be good :)

I think the one on this wide arched FD would look great.

They look very similar to the ones that we have ordered to take a look at (but we have no obligation to buy them).

To be honest they are very similar to what we have got, well a little:

We wanted something more radical :eek

Most "after-market" Alloys can sway towards the bog boy-racer group
Settle for some unique Japanese spec wheels-they cost more, but being individual is great!
OK, i have MS-02\'s...they\'ll say it\'s love or hate..for me it\'s the former.
I\'m back and it\'s broadband at last!

Thanks for all your help.

You helped us make a decision, unfortunatly couldn\'t afford the bling bling ones but we have posted another thread with our chosen rims.

Have a look and let us know what you think.
