Were 12a RX7's in Puerto Rico different?

I have been searching the classifieds in Puerto Rico for a 1st gen RX7 for a cousin of mine, and almost all of them have GSL-SE lug patterns. The few 12a RX7's with the 4x110 bolt pattern I have seen for sale have been imported. I know that the rest of the world got 12a RX7's with the 4x114 bolt pattern, I wonder if Puerto Rico got them like that as well. Does anybody know for sure?

I've never seen a 12a rx7 with 4x114.3..unless it got swapped with the gsl-se suspension stuff. all 12a rx7's came with that weird 4x110 bolt pattern. only the gsl-se's came with the 4x114.3 bolt pattern.

Yes, true. For North America. There was no GSL-SE outside the North American market. Australia, Japan, Europe got 12a RX7's with the 4X114.3 bolt pattern, my question was Puerto Rico spec RX7's like that?

check out rotorespr.net is a rotary local webpage. I live here and my car is an 84 12a with GSL-SE suspension but it was change by us. But I have seen a lot of rx-7 79-85 no SE with SE wheels. Remember that they have 4x110 pattern. They go to a machine shop to make fit the 4x113 wheel in a 110 car. Mine was like that.

Oh ok...that makes sense. I guess their 12a RX7's were the same as ours...I was curious is all.
