Looking to get a set of 15 inch wheels for my 1979 RX-7. Wondering if anyone had a set of the Kosei K1 racing (6 spoke) wheels on there first gen. so I can take the guess work out of how they will look. I think my only other option is the ROH Snypers, but I'm checking with companies to see if they come in the 4X110 pattern. Any other wheel options, barring wheel adapters or changing hub? My dad has Panasports on his, but they are too 60's racing vintage for my taste, besides I have them on my '64 TR-4. Thanks for the help.

Yeah!! Thanks a lot. I couldn't picture what they would look like on an old RX-7. My car is red with the trim painted black (insted of the stock grey). Now I can't decide between the ROH Snypers and the Kosei K1 racing rims (available at tirerack.com if you wanted to look them up). Thanks, so much for the picture.



Any opinions out there betweent the two? Also can I run 205/50-15's all the way around without rubbing in the front. Suspension is stock and just replaced the struts/shocks last year with KYB.s.

u can also squeeze older toyota wheels on. but they came mostly in 13".

what color are the koseis available in? i think ive only seen white ones. just picture a white rim on the red and a polished rim on the red. or u can ask one of our resident photchop guys to help u out.
