I believe that I was correct above:

https://www.stockwheels.com/mazda-rx7-1 ... -wheel-rim?
The wheels in the pic have ten holes. Do the Mazdas come in eight and ten?

Has anyone re-rim the original steel wheels for wider tires. I saw a Volvo pv444 with wider rims on the stock hubs and caps it looked pretty sweet and sleepy.

Just found these old school jdm wheels wondering if they will fit the guy says he will get me the offset a couple days ago but hasn't. I've posted a screen grab with the offset stamped but I can barely make it out. What do you guys think, haven't really seen these on a roadster.

‘XCITING’ knock-off of BBS center locks with turbine hat sections, but look good!

Agree with ‘+16’

If you can confirm that the center bore is at least 73mm wide and bolt pattern is 4x114.3 then you should be good!

These are Autobahn Xciting X1 from the early 80s and not very common

14x6.33 with an offset of +16 Center bore is not published but these were made for JDM cars of that era and most likely a 73-76mm CB
Those specs will work perfectly with your 67.5 (they would stick out on a 65-67) if dropped 195/60/14s are a good choice but (195/65/14are better IMO)
Not sure how they will look on a roadster but they would be awesome on a 510

Thanks pjack what is different about the 67.5 versus the 65-67 that works make then stick out? Different rear end?
