I was told that everything thing from the Shocks down to the Brake Spindle from a first gen RX7 will work is this true? I'm getting some parts from a RX7 really cheap so I wanted to know if it will work.

I was told that the Diff from the old time Mazda Panel Van...the one with the double back wheels is also a direct swap. Does anyone know what the Gear Ratio is on either the Mazda 1600 PU or the Mazda double back wheel Panel Van?

Well I was going to surprise my fellow RX2 Rotor Heads with this next pic...but now that I saw these wheels well I just had to get your opinions..the Rex spent the last few days in a bodyshop getting a little makeover. Due to budget constraints I couldn't go all out but I did change the color to a similar Yellow and added some Metallic Gold Crystals in the Clearcoat....hopefully the Rex will be parked back at my house tomorrow..lol...and again thanks "gready123456" for showing me these wheels they look awesome!!

This pic was taken out about an hour ago, the pic is a little dark, I will post a daylight pic tomorrow.

Potential Axis Wheels and it comes in 3 or 4 finishes...not just this one. http://www.axiswheels.com/og-wheels
