Ok so as the subject says...i did infact find someone that makes these adapters to fit our crappy bolt pattern....They will change the existing 4 X 110mm to 4 X 114mm. This is great because well now my rim shopping will be alot easier. However, before i rush into buying a set of new rims (im looking at 17" rims....maybe 16") Is there any thing i should know about or look for before i buy a set...like what offset should these rims have (or is recommended for our FB's)? I have an 82' GS.

 

I also bought a set of wheel adapters, and they should be arriving soon. You're going to want to get a set of wheels designed for a FWD car. You need them because they have a higher offset, which will make up for some of the thickness of the adapters. Look for wheels with a high offset of about +40, or +42. Have fun being able to actually "choose" a wheel you like now. I did.

 

Cool...thanks for the info!

mikebeezie3404.....those rims look amazing..how much did it cost to get them custom drilled??

 

yeah tell us please!

 

*cough*

 

What size are those and are they available in other sizes. I wouldnt mind a set of 15's.
Thanks, Ed

 

they r 17's and i had to get the bolt pattern drilled on the rims it ran me bout 1300 rims tires and bolt plus the whell spacers

 

Who makes the rims? I have set of dynamic 16 inch that came with one of my parts cars that
are similar but in a dark gray color. They are made for the 4x110m pattern when you buy them and their is no spacer needed. Yes they actually are made for the rx7, now i just need to redrill them for my se. rx7doctor

 

well who makes the wheeeel adapter don't be a douch and keep the secret from us...

 

Here is the auction where I got my wheel adapters. The company actually made them wrong the first time and they wouldn't fit my 4x114.3 wheels, but it was just a dumb email screw up. They made the wheels with a 4.25" pattern instead of 4.5" pattern. But I called them and told them they didn't make them right and they are replacing them for free without any questions. They are a very professional business and I would recommend them despite having a mixup with my adapters. The first set was very well made, and I was sorry they were made incorrectly.

My second set should be here sometime soon and I can't wait to get them, so I can mount my wheels. If you want to get a set of these adapters just check out the guys other auctions. You just win an auction and them email him to tell him what you want. Just be very clear in what you want in case they screw up on yours like they did on mine. I think it was just a freak accident that they messed up though. Anyway... that's where I got my wheel adapters.

 

Hehehe.... forgot to post the link to the auction.

TRY THAT!

 

I've been using the spacers for 2 years now. I have had no problems with them. Mine convert the lug patter to 4*100mm like small hondas. Then I just use front drive honda rims.

BTW, Adaptamerica on ebay is a great seller.
