Without a doubt the best wheels on a black Fd are White TE 37's



I took this pic in the PFS parking lot.







Yea, those are cool. But, just not me.. I did want the Spirit R's.. but they cost too damn much..

you cant really ask other what is the best cause you will get indivdual opinions. just search for wheels and see what you like best on you're car. try www.tirerack.com they show a pic of the car, and you pick whatever wheels you want on it, out of the selection they have. www.wheelmax.com www.tires.com and a few others. The wheels on the cym you posted are in fact sparco wheels. www.gtautosports.com has some bad *** wheels too...

The first rims are Kosei Seneka's, no longer made. And the second set on the CYM (isn't that Brook's old car?) are Sparco Viper NSII's, no longer made. They have a custom center color sprayed on at a later date. I really like the Volks, as you can tell, but their only downside is that the anodized coating doesn't hold up well to wheel cleaners (specifically Eagle One) and agressive brake pads. The last image is my car at MADS when the rims were a week old. You'd scream in horror if I posted a recent photo of the same rims. The TE37's seem to have an actual paint coating on them which may make them more durable and resistant to contamination. SSR makes a few rims which are almost as light and much cheaper, none in bronze though!

I looked at tirerack.com and tires.com, they had some ok wheels.. and when I went to wheelmax.com, I didn't even see an option to choose wheels for the FD..

Great.. both of them aren't made anymore.. and I really liked the first ones.. I saw some at tirerack.com that looked similar to the first ones.. but, someone told me they were SSR integrals..

just know that the rx7 is a 5x114.3 bolt pattern. offsets depend on the wheel size, if you call any of these places they SHOULD have a book showing what fits what.

I found this wheel at tirerack.com, are they the same ones that are on this car?

Because at tirerack.com they are 16 X 8's and the in the pic, those wheels look bigger..
