#5785, "RX-7 wheels or stock OZ F1's?"




          

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...

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.

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.
