Someone buy that White SE with rotor rims please.

The high bid is to a person named "fast-351"...

I think something's gonna happen to that car... Something bad.

I have a rather large funny bone but I'll trade it for your wheels any time!Those wheels are nonexistant in Canada .Seeing those on a first gen is like spending the evening with a supermodel and finding out she's a lez on the ride to her house! See I do have a sense of humour! Sorry ,I thought you were serious about the 17" joke,kind of forgot about you guys and YOUR sense of humor,but it's all rushing back now.

The rotor wheels are definately 4x110. I have a set that I use for my winter tires. I use ROH Snypers in the summer.

Right, they got the 12AT and we got the 13B 6-port. I just wanted to know if the 12AT had 4x114.3 or 4x110 because as far as I know those wheels are 4x110. (basically is the US market the only one to get 4x114.3 bolt pattern? Awfully odd considering they only made a handful of GSL-SE's)
I'm about 95% sure the 12AT model only had the 110mm patern. I think it was exactly the same as the other models, except for the engine and standard options...

Some of the second gens also came with the 4x 4.5" (114.3mm) bolt patern. The infamous "Phone Dial" dims from the 2nd gen do indeed fit the -SE.

And the Rotor Rims were only made in the 110mm bolt patern.

I e-mailed the guy and asked, but his reply didn't make a lot of sense.

I said that the Rotor Rims were only made for the non-SE models, and he replied:

yes i know, the reason why i have those rims is because their classics the best rims mazda put out that time, i have a couple sets of those
I just offered to buy a set from him, for my '85 Base

SOLORX7, I was thinking the same thing, i just can't find a listing on there site for that particular wheel. I haven't been able to look at the wheel yet, still have a bunch of snow on the ground by my car, and don't trust a jack under the car.
