1st gen rim sizes

so i just got a second rx7 but it is only the shell, the purchaser is keeping the rims, so i am going to need a extra temp set, while i transfer everything from my first gen, to this new first gen, are there any other rims that would fit it, besides oem rims? for example from what i understand the 5 letter gsl-se will fit accord rims, and that civic rims were to small, so someone suggested ford focus rims - offset might work, but dont want to buy something without knowing for sure, any help would be appreicated as i need to get this done asap.. even if someone might know the specs of the stock rims, so i know what to look for in other rims/steelys! thanks much!

If you're swapping everything from your old shell to your new one, and they're the same bolt pattern (GSL-SE = 4x114.3, anything else = 4x110 [exceedingly rare...]), just put your old chassis on jack stands (on level ground...) and put your old wheels on your new shell for transport to your house, then put both on jack stands and go to town swapping.
