group a autotrend has one or two styles of ROH's in 4x100mm bolt pattern. diamond racing sells steel wheels for our 12a's. Panasport and Revolution have fitments also. Try here and thepartstrader.com for used wheels. Then there is the custom route. expensive but they will sell you any size any bolt pattern, simmons, HRE, fisk, ect.
hey redrx I am in the same boat you are. Mazda fucked us when they made the rex have a 4x110 mm pattern. Yer gonna find that just about nothing will fit your car. Panasports are good but a $250 a piece they are outrageously expensive. I still don't know what I'm going to do. try to find a set of panasports used or something.

I would suggest a GSL-SE suspention swap to anyone with a 12a car. its fairly easy, can be fairly inexpensive and you get, bigger brakes, a normal bolt pattern, LSD.
Just my opinion.

parts car.
It has the Full SE Suspension and Brakes,
and a fair body. (Needs good paint, not wrecked)
No engine/No Tranny.
SE Wheels in good condition too.
Interior has torn burg leather
Center console is out, gauge cluster is out.
Basically it's good to make a Race car out of,
or build up up the car.

True, you could do a SE swap. However, if you have a 84 or 85 GSL, whats the point? All you get is the different bolt pattern. I dont see a reason to do all that just so you can get nicer rims. I mean, id just try to clean up the stock ones or get some LE wheels.
hey Directfreak how much cha want for the "organ doner" I might be interested, I've been looking for an autox project. Hmmm getting it from Florida to NJ might be interesting.
