I've got the opportunity to buy stock OZ F1's with tires (50% tread) for $300 (a steal I hear), I've also go the choice of 3G RX-7 wheels with Nitto tires (90% tread) for $350-400(not sure yet). Both are 16", OZ's are 6" wide where as the RX-7's are 8" wide (correct me if I'm wrong). What would you do?

The RX-7's are better performance and handling wise, MUCH lighter and a lot wider, have better tires with MORE tread; now they don't look as cool I think, and will cost me a little more.

The OZ's look a lot better, but are also stock rims and not much of an upgrade from my shitty 14's, they weigh almost the same, a little wider, bigger and better looking but I'm leaning towards performance.

Opinions please...

RX7 rims all the way, get the lip polished and they'll look sweet as hell. plus much lighter

Oh, and do the RX-7's just bolt right on, or do I need some spacer plate thing?

RX-7's defenitley, they are wider and lighter than the OZs, but I think the OZs look better, but the RX-7 rims aren't too bad themselves.

At the most you'll need a 1/8th inch spacer. Go to any rim shop, they will have them.

do you guys have pics of the stockers for the rx7

rx-7 yeah you need a spacer

yes I do have a pic or two somewhere, would you like me to send you one?

I'd definately go for RX-7 rims... man, I want rx7 rims. sigh.

anyone in and around the md/pa/nj area have them and don't want them?

if not.. time to search the junkyards...

RX7 rims are good for performance and they are light, but for looks, I think the stock OZ racing rims look way better. I'd take the OZ's personally since I'm not an autocrosser and 16x6" rims are good enough for me.
