The 86-87 Base, Luxury and 87.5-88 SE all had 4 lug wheels.

All 86+ GXL, Sport, GTU, Convertibles, Turbos, GTUs models had 5 lug wheels.

The 86-88 GXL, 88 GTU, 89-90 GTUs model, and all Turbos (87-91) had a LSD.

Just remember, anything can technically have 5-lug and an LSD. Just because it doesn't have it from the factory doesn't mean it can't have it now. My 87 Base has 5-lugs with the vented rotors, TII wheels, and a s4 LSD on it for example. The only way to know for sure is to ask. Pictures also help validate what they say.
Here is some links on info you need to know when buying a 7: http://aaroncake.net/RX-7/tech1.htm The links in buying info are about half-way down the page. There is also other good info in those links, as well.
BTW, I saw your Talon in the f/s section. Very nice looking car.
