Yep, those pics are a compilation of horrid rims. Some people just spend all their money in the wrong shops...

If not steel rims, then an Rx2 needs these. Anyone know what they're called? I need a set!

Just a tiny hint: there are more Rx-2 Coupés than Ford Capris...

I see... Well the correct answer will not be revealed that easily. Another hint: The correct answer is above 1 and lower than 10 

So, just a B&W pic for this week, then. But what a shot!

Coz one was partially rusted away

Not as funny as it sounds.  Once upon a time I used to work for people whose job it was to disguise the ravages of the journey on new Japanese car imports. Very few of them arrived without damage or rust after their long sea voyage with little or no protection from the sea air. We often had to swap brightwork that had begun to rust en route.  These were Hondas but Mazda cars must have come the same way and the shipping was expensive so corners had to be cut to make the retail price point.  UK buyers would have been horrified to know their new pride and joy had already had a 'glass out' respray to repair rot that had started in the A-post even before delivery.   

On the assumption that the RX2 boot shut line is key I was going to say one...no idea what the tell is elsewhere
