The rotor wheels are made by Mazda and will work with an 79-85 RX-7 as long as its not the GSL-SE. The bolt pattern is different on the SE.

Bolt patterns for SA and FB (various 13×5.5" and some 14×5.5" stock wheels): G / GS / GSL = 4×110.

Bolt pattern for GSL-SE (14×5.5" stock wheel sizing) = 4×114.3, 40mm offset.

These are not interchangeable for obvious reasons.
