Hello there. Now - I have to say wheels are not a strong point for me, so I need a bit of a hand here. Basically I want to see what I can get for my car laying out a bit of criteria - I'm basically after some nice cool Japanese wheels, something old skool style/a bit cheesy. I wouldn't mind if it's the stock wheels for something as well, as long as they fit and suit it. The kind of stuff I like: And the car to be fitted to (yes, I am aware of the suspension ). Size must be 13-14", really don't want to go any bigger than that. The stock wheels there are 13 x 4.5". Wouldn't want them much wider than that either, sorry Euro stylers. So what's my problem - 4 x PCD 110, which I'm having trouble finding anything for, never mind anything nice. Suggestions would be nice, anyone know much about adapting wheels to a different PCD size? As I say I really am a bit clueless when it comes to wheels. Help me out! ;D

I don't think alfa rims are 4 x 110 despite what that lad is saying.
4x110 is a curse word, its the same as my 929 koop. I bought a set of series 1 RX-7 (13" 4x110) wheels a while ago off a lad on Ebay, paid £15 for delivery too, but he has never sent them, the useless sh1te.

Weird PCD - early Mazda (as already said) is all I can think of. Possibility of PCD adaptors? Not a fan myself, and that PCD probably not off the shelf. Sure a local machine shop could spin you something up. Failing that your into billet rims (read £££) where you can specify your PCD/ center bore/ offset etc. Try: www.imagewheels.co.uk/Good luck...

Hmm that's just opened a new door, I like a lot of the wheels on those. The top ones would be 13" and lower ones 14". Both look superb and I bet there'll be a few sets around wanting to be gotten rid of.....

You still get quite a few rims on Yahoo Japan, but you need to be able to bid and ship.

Yes, I have a good browse around there every so often, some really nice ones but with all the shipping and agent commission (for bidding) I'd have to be getting something really special! I promise myself a set of Watanabes one day for it though.

Have you tried the Mazda Rotary Club forum (old school section) ... they can usually turn up some interesting things.
Australians seem to have a range of wheels on their old MazRotors so might be worth seeing who their suppliers are, at least they are speaking english, which would make shipping easier.

those alfa rims are most likely 4x98 4x110 is rare, unless you want series 1 or 2 rx7 wheels.
The later 1st gen wheels won't fit though as they upgraded the brakes and changed to 4x114.3 (hence the 14" wheels on later ones)
other than the " + " style rx7 wheels the rest are rare as a very rare thing. I jumped on a set for my rwd 323 and i've not seen more than 1 or 2 sets since then

Phew, good job you told me. Shame as I really liked the later ones.
Still, if I see the plus style ones I think they're quite smart too, just a shame they say Mazda on them, I'll see what I can do about that. They are really nice.

Hey those are like the ones I bought! I only paid £15 (not that cheap really, considering I never actually got them).
