The hole pattern on 1st gen rx7 wheels is quite rare in the states. You won't be able to get wheels on tirerack.com or anything like that.

I'm curious about this custom drilling deal. Do most tire/wheel shops do it? Can you get a wheel manufacturer to do it? What kind of $$ is involved?

I'd like something like a konig vilian on the rx7 I dont know if they make them small enough tho

I know our bolt pattern is NOT 4x100. I'm guessing it is 4x114.3? What kind of offset on the stock 13"'s and the Limited Edition 14" wheels? Around 28 or so?

I looked around on tirerack some more but cannot find where they actually give specs. on the wheels you select. Where do they list the offset and bolt pattern? Did you get the info from a different source?

I also looked at 1010tires.com They have a pretty good selection and they list the offset and bolt pattern with all their wheels.
