Cool. Going back many years a car magazine compared the similarities between a FC rx7 and a Porsche 944 or 924 can't remember.
Things like tail lights general shapes, crease lines etc.
The Mazda is an obvious copy. Thankfully the FC is where it ended. :)
Well except for the fact that both the sa22 rx7 and mx5 were both based on the original lotus élan.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Very, very close aren't they. They look a million times better with huge brakes under them though.

So who actually makes these wheels?

Not a copy, the genuine original manufacturer?
I personally think they look great on an MX5! :mrgreen:
