Try www.mazdarecycling.com I didn't mean to bash you about the mirrors...sorry. Make sure you tell them you have the turbo mirrors.

Here's the REAL scoop on those wheels on the blue 7. The front are indeed stock R32 Skyline GTS-t wheels. But they are 6.5JJ, not 7JJ wide. The rear are the GT-R stock wheels at 8JJ wide. Trust me, I know this a bit better than most. 
This is my car at a autoX this past winter. The wheels are GT-R at all for corners. They have a 30 offset. This makes the front ones stick out a smidgen, but that's not a problem for me.

It's had a hard life.

Because Skylines are so common over here, I looked at these as a cheap replacement for my stock 15” wheels, but the GTS-t wheels are no wider than stock and the GT-R ones are considerably more expensive. Oh well...

No worries. 
There's a reason why they used the 6.5JJ up front. Because the 8JJ like mine are a bit too wide. If you can get them at a good price, then go for it. I always liked the way they looked on FC's, so when I was on vacation and saw them I bought them, packed 'em up, and shipped them stateside. They look good, and best of all, take about a minute each to clean. Not like those stock Turbo2 wheels that I had before. Now those things are a PITA to clean well by hand.

Step 1 - go to Japan
Step 2 - find a used performance parts shop
Step 3 - buy GT-R wheels
Step 4 - ship them home ahead of you
At least that's what I did. If you are already in Japan on vacation or work, then happy hunting. R32 GT-R wheels are at least 13 year old OEM pieces. OEM pieces from a car that rarely keeps it's stock wheels through it's life. Needless to say, there isn't anything special about them over there. The ones I bought were pretty inexpensive but in perfect shape. Not too shabby.

Former Moderator. RIP Icemark.
You know what's weird, I seem to remember in one of th articles I read from Road&Track or Automobile or something that the Infini 4 didn't have a rear wiper... It was basicly a series 5 Sport or GTUs, with the BBS wheels and slightly pumped up T2 drive train.
yet that one has a rear wiper, power mirrors and radio...
