Don't do that. He has a nice car and no need to turn it into a ricemobile, even if it's high-end parts.

^Yeah, I won't be doing anything like that.

What are some good wheel websites/retailers that I can browse? (tirerack.com, wheelmax.com, etc.)

Re: Help me shop for wheels for my RX-7!!! (Need suggestions)

I wasn't saying you should, just that you could. I wouldn't do it myself either, especialy with a RX-7. But I do think the LM's look really good on FD's.

Re: Help me shop for wheels for my RX-7!!! (Need suggestions)

18x8.5 = $801 each
18x9.5 = $837 each



ASA AR-1's are very similar and alot cheaper.

18x8 = $219
18x9 = $229





I actually like the AR-1's better and am attempting to save up for some for my accord.

I like those wheels on that blue RX-7.

Those BBS's are badass too! Too bad there out of my budget.
