Identifying which fd wheels i have
I searched a lil bit but couldn't find the info. Just want basic info on identifying whether i have the lighter or heavier revised wheels. They are not on an FD that's why i don't know which year they are.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Yes defenitely!! The heavy ones.
As adam said. All the information, pics etc. just lead to one result. The heavy ones.
Even the font you´ve chosen on your post... the heavy ones!
look... I have the light ones so I use comic sans!

Very interesting. About a year ago we were discussing this and concluded the "PFD" wheels (have PFD stamped on them) were the brittle wheels. Just checked out in the garage; I have 3 PFD wheels and 5 non-PFD wheels. The PFD ones have rounded spokes (well, they feel almost pointed or angulated to me, but distinctly different from the flat ones), while the non-PFD ones have flat spokes.

Hello Jonathan, turns out there are 2 types of OEM wheels avail for this car. One of them is reputed to break often I think its the type that has PFD stamped on it. The PFD types have less metal around the inside of spokes, and the casting is rougher on the inside of the spokes than the other type leading to the premature failure. In talking to Rhys at Millen Motorsports, the PFDs are ok for the street-but the other type is recommended for track type stresses-I have 2 sets of wheels and 2 of the ones on my car are PFD-my track set is all of the other type thank goodness. Moral of story stay away from PFD types for track/aggressive use or at all if you can avoid them.
________________
For what it's worth, mine are the PFD ones, and I have been autocrossing with them. No problems yet. Steve.

Thank you very much tpcplaya, that's exactly what i wanted. I have a few buddies with them and we want to find out which wheels we all have, not just mine hence why i wanted info and not post pics to have only mine identified. I guess some people just can't read and understand that and had to make all sorts of useless comments.
Again, thanks!

Ok, I checked my wheels and according to the number of dots in the rectangle (all filled) and the year next to the rectangle, they were manufactured in 12/91. I also checked the back and they are reinforced.

IMO, there were 2 alternative wheel manufacturers, and the wheels were not "reinforced" due to poor performance of the "non-reinforced" ones. Mine came with the reinforced wheels (car was manufactured in late 1991), and when I damaged one of those, the replacement I got from Mazda was one of the "non-reinforced" wheels.
