what year/model seven did the rotor rims come from?

i recently bought a set of those rotor shaped rims, and i can't get them to fit my 79 sa22c. i did notive that the bolt pattern on the rims is the same as the se's (4x114.3), not the same 110 as on the rest of the mazdas... what i was wondering is, since the rotor rims are 13", will they be able to clear an se front end if i decide to upgrade? thanks for your help

they came on an australian and southafrican trim levels called the "special edition", according to my literature which dates Sept. 81, from the magagine "car south africa" it was the "foriegn" gsl trim level. the car had a rubber type spoiler as well as seats that resembled the 79 limited edition sold here, in america. the wheels are 5,5J and are shun with 185/70HR 13 size tires. i believe the rims could be had on U.K. spec cars as well. very desired rims!!!

Nice rims... Would be nice to have, but I would be scared to run with them on the car, since I wouldnt have any spares......
