No longer offered. Dunno if it was due to lacking sales, so they decided to drop them, or if they are totally discontinued.

Tirerack told me that "they stopped offering that bolt pattern completely, and we are clearing out thier stock of R1 rims"....If it wasnt just them yappin, I think I got the last set!


Edit: and by they, I assume they meant kosei stopped offering that bolt pattern.

A while back, tirerack had them listed as "Closeout". Doing a search at tirerack for rims for Mazda older than 84, and the RX7 does not even show up anymore.........
It's not hard to understand why the 4x110 pattern is getting nearly impossible to find, since it hasn't seen use on a new vehicle in over 20 years (1985).............

Compomotive or Panasport make them. I purchased the Compomotive ML for 4x110 15x7 with a +20 offset. Front tires are 195/50 and the rears are 205/50...very sticky 200 treadwear rated Hankooks.

In one of the old wheel threads, this year, there was a link to a site that makes drag racing wheels. Don't remember the name of the site, and the wheels are pretty plain, but they have a bigger selection of sizes than anyone else.

I believe you are talking about diamond racing wheels. You can find it on google very easily.
