Question about 88 SE with 15" rims...

Hey gang, I saw a 88 Mazda RX-7 SE yesterday with the 15" alloy wheels & 5 lug pattern. I thought the SE's were the 14" 4 lugs? Or was that the eailer models? It was a clean 2+2 model,pw sunroof, pw mirrors, cruz, AC, Security system. Or was the 88 SE a "Sport Edition"? Anyone else have one like that or info about it?
Thanks & have a great weekend!

I know that the 88 SE came with 4 lug 14" Bologna cutter rims, cause that is the exact year/model that I have!

Like he said, conversions are easy to do. Same with the cruz option or anything else that wasn't stock. Just plug it in and go!

With all that power stuff you found a GXL, not a SE.

The SE never came with power mirrors

Was it red? It might have been my friends old 88 SE. We did the 5 lug conversion to it, and it has 89-91 style GTU rims. IT also had power mirrors, cruise, and sunroof. He sold it to a guy from IN about 4 months ago. IT is REALLY clean, almost showroom, at least when he had it.

Its gold, with a maroonish interior...I wondered if it was the conversion too, If so, do they change to the 4 caliper pistons as well? (Hope so) I am thinking of getting it. Its real clean and a guy can't have too many RX-7's right?
