The mark I'm talking about isn't a sticker on the center caps, I never even had center caps for these wheels.

Here is what I'm talking about, it's circled in red in both pics. The first pic is of my stock + style wheel, the second one is of the wheel in question. The mark is exactly the same on both. Also, any of you with a GSL-SE, or any other stock RX-7 wheel I've seen, go look at your stock wheels, they will have that mark too.






Now that my ftp is working again, I decided to take a decent picture of my wheels, now you can see exactly what they look like.

Oh, THAT mark...
I've got a set of "EXIM" wheels from Germany that have that same identical mark on 'em. In fact, they look a LOT like those mesh wheels you posted, except they're 13X6. I don't know WHAT that marking means, though.

enki made many differant mesh wheels not just the 92 model with the flat face. they made some that look like your wheels from 1983-1987. but with that said there is no question that your wheels are weds E/1. now that that is solved. what about the pic of the deep dish 3 piece wheel you posted on the 1st page as a weds wheel. that wheel is a epsilon that I need 1 or at least a rim half for my set where did you get the pic? and like I said above most all wheels made for our cars had the m marking on them mazda or not

Yep, that's definitely them, although mine have a black center and are 4X110mm Mazda bolt pattern.

EXIM

I've got a set of 'EXIM's on my 1983 RX-7 and they look fabulous. I do need 4 center caps for these wheels, can anybody help?

Here is where I got the picture, http://www.twelve100.com/faq%20and%2...el%20Guide.htm They are listed as WEDS Southern. I'd ask the people on that forum www.twelve100.com if they know anyone selling them.

Bump. Anyone that thinks they know what kind of wheels they are, try to find some proof.
