Though the BBS RZ look very similar to the BBS wheels

that came stock on the 92 SE blk/tan, they are not 

the same.  Two obvious differences are the number of 

spokes/points, and the widths (i.e. the stock and 

aftermarket differ by ~1/2-inch).  The BBS wheels on

the 92 blk/tan were designed by BBS specificially for 

this model.



Because they are unique, Mazda charges a premium for the

wheels (and center caps, should you be so unfortunate

as to lose one).  If you're going for the 'look', the

aftermarkets are certainly less expensive, but not 'stock'.
