1984 RX7 GSL wheel spacer?

Do these exist? Everytime I try to search for it, I get such awkward results, or $120 for non-billet spacers.

Mazdatrix seems to have some for the GSL-SE but not sure if they should fit since the GSL-SE is 4x114


Anyone have a solution, I'm starting to think a 5 lug conversion to something more universal is cheaper than trying to put my free kosei seneca rims on the rx7

Have you thought about fabbing your own with some aluminum flat stock cut into a circle the size of your wheel hub and just drill the needed holes? You can easily use the backing plate of the wheel as your template. A little Prussian blue can go a long way. How much do you need to space it? You may even be able to find something of appropriate thickness at home depot or Lowe's, although I cannot say for certain. A warehouse that sells raw materials to fab shops and home builders may have what you need.

if I did I would have to buy the cutting tool as well, but at that point I was thinking of just doing a complete 5 lug conversion.

Sadly the stock FB non GSL-SE comes with such an odd bolt pattern.
