Check e-bay on RX7 rim prices. You'll never buy them new for that price. Weigh them to determine which ones they are.

The stronger ones have a bell shape in between the bolt holes on the mounting surface. The lighter ones have squares.

Chris,
The earlier, lighter 3rd Gen RX-7 rims weigh ~12# each, while the later versions weigh ~15# each. I have a set of each and wouldn't even think about autoXing with the 12# version. They will easily handle 245/45 tires and not rub (well, at least not with at least .5 deg of neg camber). I'm in the process of figuring out what it takes to fit 275/45s on all four corners (hot on the heels of Ben&Dave - except they've got the 275/45s mounted on stock rims with 1" spacers). -Bill p.s. $400 is a little high, think I picked up my 15# set for around $300 and the 12# set for $250 (they're chrome and the chrome is bad on two of them....)

The widest tire that can fit on a given rim width is usually not the best solution. Tires are designed for specific rim diameters and widths. Stuffing a really wide tire on a stock SVX rim will cause vague turn-in response due to the pulled-in sidewalls, and maximum traction for that tire diameter will not be available because the cross section will not have the proper shape. For a 16x7.5" rim, the optimum tire size for good turn-in response and traction is probably either the stock size or maybe a 235/50-16 or 235/45-16.
