There is a thread on this somewhere on this forum. I think you need the non-reinforced ones because they are the ones that will fit with the OEM brakes.

Rx7 wheels
I have both kinds. The ones with the defined bell fit with a 20 mm hub centric/wheel centric spacer. I just tried it in my garage.

Looks like almost 14lbs. Add about 2.5 lbs for each spacer.

Mazda RX7 FD3S Cast 16x8 15.4
Mazda RX7 FD3S - PFD Cast (Brittle) 16x8 13.8

They still require a spacer to fit the front Brembos.

My 17" wheels and slicks weigh about 29lbs together (MT Moto Slicks). Looking forward to running at the track with them!
