Yah daryl begged me to go 3mm, but I opted for the 2mm. I have my reasons.
Personally, I'm glad you kept the rotary! So do you need a retune now? Let's set up a day! or is marco gonna tackle it!

Mazdabation is going to hate me if I get the wheels I really want.

They fit as far as I know. I can only speak for myself and my reason for not having them, which is being el cheapo. They are $100us for 4. But I plan on selling these wheels or keeping them for track duty so I doubt I'll get them.

I think they look good. They are what I'm getting later this year when the car is running.

Don't get me wrong I think they are great looking and priced rims. But it is more of a no nonsense racing look. I poured through hours of pics before picking the RPF1s. I think it was Speedjunkie's car that had them on an MB FD that sold me.
I may want something different for street duty. Something with a bit of lip and maybe colour coded in part to the paint.
When you get the RPF1s get them in the offset that has all four rims with a concave appearance. I would get Joe to roll your fenders when you paint the car so you can get he widest fronts possible.
The white FC has a staggered setup resulting in the thinner fronts having a convex look. (I don't like the convex appearance so much)

But if I do get them I am debating whether to paint the spokes the body colour or go with the high polish finish.

UPDATE:
Engine back in the car.
Break in miles completed.
RPF1s sold, Work Meisters on a boat on their way here.
Hope to finish the tune on the car this week and return it to Classicauto to complete the exterior paint while waiting for the wheels.
Big thanks to Jim and Darryl of Rotary Dynamics for all their help so far. I am picky guy when it comes to the car and they always manage to keep me happy.
I should also thank Marco or 'The Wird' for his tuning job so far. The cars driveability has never been so good. I couldn't previously make a slow 2nd gear rolling stop without a little stumble etc. Now she is smooth as silk. It is really great that there is a home grown tuner developing in our backyard. I'll post a dyno sheet when we are done the boost side.
