Hey Guys, I'm new to this forum... But I had to register since the subject is on my favorite subject... RX7s...

btw... what kinda rims can i put on my car.. I reallly was thinking about Epsilons... but i have no clue on wheel size which can fit? Oh yeah, and where can i find them, or at least something similar to them.. I think Epsilons are already older wheels... sigh...

Thanks for any help you guys can give me...

 

Well,

you need a bolt pattern of 4x114.3 or 4x4.5.. You will probably want to go with 15s.. I have heard of people fitting 17s... but they had to roll the fender..

Do you still have the original wheels?

 

thanks for the info, zyouker

and YES, 85rx7gs, I do have the original GSL-SE rims... I'm just hoping to change them to Epsilons.

 

I've got a GSL-SE too, Just thought i'd show you my rims incase you liked the style

The rims are 16x7 from Etoria, and branch of Enkei

 

That last picture has got to be photoshopped. What's with the sub exposed like that... you're just asking for someone to come along and set a blockbuster movie back there and tear your precious speaker. I like those Etoria rim though.

Also, how much is a paint job like that. I want to keep the original color...

BTW: You got the favorable wheel pattern, you will FIND A TON more wheels for it, than non -Se cars

 

Is there a contact you have found to still find Epsilons? I had a set on the first RX7 I owned. Lucky me. They looked really good and everyone fawned and marveled over them. They were worth as much as they 80 model RX7 they were on. This was 1988 then.

Jimmy54's car looks good with 16's. But its an RX7 so maybe thats a biased opinion.

I wish they made the SE rim in a 15". You know there was a 15" on some mid 80's 626 that looked alot like an SE rim. I wonder if it is close enough?

 

If your talking about the VERY last picture, yes its photoshopped, About the sub, Well i always make sure that nothing is around that could roll onto it, but ofcourse theres always the occaisonal item but no damage has ever been done (plastic sub). While parked i have another carpet that covers the entire truck area which ofcourse covers the sub since i don't have any tint to hide it.

I got it painted about 3-4 years ago, I don't remember how much it cost though... It took 12 months to paint, but that's a long story why.... This color is a 79' mazda colour, somtimes depending on the light the car tends to look purple ....
