Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems those are the CP Racing adapters, and CP Racing has been out of business for a while now. They're also steel, meaning they're heavy.

This place has aluminum 4x114.3 ones for half the price:

They'll also make you 4x110 to 4xwhatever-you-want for a little extra:

I was thinking of getting some 4x110 to 4x100 adapters from them.

4x110>5x114.3 isn't possible
Whatever adaptors you use, make sure they have the hubcentric part in the middle. It spreads the load evenly and is safer than the flat type with no hubcentric ring

Another company that does billet adapters for any sizing is Techno Toy Tuning, I've called them earlier this year and they seem pretty knowledgeable about their products. Here is their link for their adapters:

Also, I just found out they make Roll Center Adjusters for 79-85 RX-7's.
