Default What wheels are these?

So my friend has a set of these wheels at his house on a real rhd rx-7. So I'm wondering if these are rare and worth anything or if they're just a generic wheel? Thank you for your input.

Centercap says "Guild" and under that it says "Weds" - I guess I answered my own question, but I've never seen them. Anyone know anything on them?

They're Wedsport's...Better than cheap, but not my style. Worth something to the right buyer. Know the exact size/offset/bolt pattern?

Thanks for the reply. They're 17x8 front and 17x9.5 rear. The tires currently are 240/40R/17 fronts and 265/40R/17 rears. I don't know the offset, how bad would these specs fit onto my S? Oh and 5x114.3

That would be entirely dependent on the offset, and it better be pretty damn high to fit 265s on the rears (w/o rolling anyway).

The fronts are +35 and the rears are +38 offset.

You can fit the wheels but not with those 265 rear tires. The front tire size you posted does not exist, so I am assuming you mean 245/40/17. Neither of these tire choices are good, what I would do is take the 245/40 off the front wheel and put them on the rear wheels making the rear 17x9.5 +38 with a 245/40/17 which can and has been fit on well rolled/trimmed rear fenders with some camber. I would put some 215/45/17's on the front 17x8 +35 and that will fit with a simple fender roll and a small trim of the plastic splash shield.

offsets are too low unless youre a fan of doing fender work. Check out the wheel fitment guide in the stickies for more info.
