Volk te-37s, Daytona speed
Mazdaspeed ms-01 mags/touring
Also invest in a set of coilovers. Then you could just get 16' rims and your car is gonna look slammed!

The best rims for any FC
Are the 16" Mesh Wheels that came stock on Series 5 Turbo II's
They're light, they look great (in my mind), and best of all they came stock on an RX-7.
btw if anyone is interested this is a pic of Erik's Turbo II

knowledge junkie
My favorites are medium mesh or the 3rd gen wheels (ultr-light).
Here's the 3rd gen wheels on a 2nd gen:

and here's some other types:

This is low mesh - NOT my favorites.

The Shoguns are kinda heavy (24.9 lbs). The Arashis are lighter (19lbs) and look pretty cool. I like those medium mesh wheels. How much do they wheigh? Does anyone know? Gotta have good lookin' wheels, but I'd rather they were seen while I'm passing the other guy instead of gettin' passed...

You've got to be ******* kidding me. These wheels are ugly, HEAVY, and just don't belong on a sports car.
I'm not trying to be a snob here, but if you want to "bling-bling" go and buy a Cadillac. Wheels that do look good are BBS, Volk, and the stock 89-91 TII rims.

hard decision to make.i've finally decided on a 17x7 5x14.3 seven spoke gunmetal that sears has on sale for 139/pcs. comes with great warranty,i go more for function than flash.but i chose gunmetal just in case it wont look good then it wont stand-out as much as polished alum.

An auction at a nice price for the ever-so-sexy 89-91 TII rims. I don't think too many people will bid on these as the auction is stuck between a whole shitload of ricer rims that come up when you search for "rx7".

you're worried about price and want the look.
I also wanted the spokes and don't have a high budget. We tried out the motegi's 17" which had like 15 spokes and were about $150 a piece. They didn't fit quite right so I got a set of 17" quantum tek alloys with 13 spokes. They fit perfect and they look good as ****. I wanted the best rubber so I went with nitto extremes. They were only $150 as well.
