Default Find me a wheel for my RX7!

What does everyone think? I am leaning toward the 5zigen FN01R-C in 17x9+43mm, but I haven't decided on any color yet. Any suggestions have to be available to that size or wider. Tires will be 255/40 in the front and either 255/40 or 275/40 rear.

Picture of the car:



Wheel I am considering:




Suggestions?

Are you mostly interested in five spoke stuff?

I think the BBS type wheels look smokin hot on those cars. Split spoke and the like.

The real thing. BBS

Usually, yea. My mind is not set on such a design, however.

ASA is actually an off brand of BBS.

And the ASA AR1 is the copy of the BBS RS-GT.


Anyway. I think the 5Zigen's would look better on there. BBS on this size of cars needs to have custom built 3pcers to look right.

I don't think I could ever do a gold or bronze wheel.

What bolt pattern is that thing?

Personally, I'm a fan of the Enkei RPF1:



Or something like a BBS RK:

I like the Enkei RPF1's (I have knock offs of them on the fc), but I haven't been able to find proper sizes in them. :-(

What does everyone think about Silver wheels on the car? I cannot decide on a color and really don't want a black set...

We'll see, I might try to stay square on the tire sizes.
