Yeah, unless you ask if I want to sell mine, which are available. Especially if you're in So. Cal.

Actually, those wheels are from a 2nd Gen Convertable made by BBS. Won't fit 1st Gen's as they are 5 lug, not 4.

However, the observation that they are '83 Lmt. Ed. isn't far off as those are actually earlier versions of Vert wheels AND are the best looking 4 x 110 stock 1st Gen. wheels Mazda produced IMHO.

I have some similar to that. They came off a 1980. I'm in Westminster. If you're interested in seeing them, send me an e-amil at asam@cris.com
