DO NOT PUT ANY OF THOSE ON YOUR CAR. IT's NOT A RWD WHEEL.
It will be puny as hell on the FD. I would never do that. It's sacriligous. If you want a wheel that will outperform your stocks you should look for at least an 8.5" width or wider. As well as being lightweight.
the MOTEGI is for Hondas and other FWD vehicles. hehe. I know cause I am a wheel distributor and own RX7's as well.
It would be wrong and I'd never sell a set to an FD owner especially. RO_JA's yes, Motegis hell no. It's a cheap knockoff. You should get some of the Enkei tuning line or something that's at least 8.0" wide.
If you want some reccommendations please PM me and I'll walk you through your selections or at least give you a thumbs up or down. Might cost a little more but will be the only way to go. Ask any of the third gen guys whether you should put a 7.0" - 7.5" wheel on the FD. They'll say, "Hell no, the stock 16's are 8" wide and only weigh ~14lbs."
See ya, Rishie

I think the Konig tantrum you can get in a 17,8 front and rear. They show a 5x115 which will work with a 114.3 PCD, also show the 114.3 but not sure if they have a full set. The 35 offset is just fine to run a 235/45 or 235/40 front and rear.
this is the same style but a proper width/fitment.
Contact me if you are interested. I should be able to shave a couple bucks but I noticed they are already on special. I have an order going in next week.

Noticed you're in Canada so it might be difficult for me to keep these economical but if you're looking to buy from the US I might be your best bet. I'm negotiating trade into Canada at the moment. They have a huge mazda Protege Market.
