Alternative wheels for 88 vert

I have Sparco racing wheels on my 88 vert, I'd like to get some regular RX7wheels for everyday use but I can't find vert wheels around here.
We have a good selection of wrecker's yards here though. I saw a reference to Ford wheels, which model and year Ford or other make of wheels will fit directly onto my hubs?

I ahve a few sets of stock but wouldnt want to ship. Maybe you should use classifieds or local section to find some close stock wheels. If you want an alternate way than i think the ninety early 2000's mustang wheels but im not sure. I bet you could reseach the offsets and bolt patters by google

Like you say, shipping is the problem with wheels. I'll try the wrecker yards locally. Thanks for the tips, guys

I have the vert wheels on my 88 rx7. I think they look fabolous. If I were you, look into the classified and post that you are wanting to buy oem vert wheels. Got mine for $250 shipped w/ tires.

I only paid about $70 for shipping a set of vert wheels from Atlanta to Calgary, Alberta by USPS about three years ago. So cross-border shipping, and about 3500kms (2200 miles) as the crow flies, so shipping isn't necessarily a big deal.
