No...no it doesn't. If it does then it's not a GXL. There is no GXL with 4 lug hubs. Read the FAQ, Archive, and Specifications: What did the 2nd Generation RX-7 come w/. Options & standard features threads.

No GXL came from the factory with 4 lugs. His car is also 21 years old and could have had stuff changed for some odd reason.

Yea, while I agree I strongly doubt it. More than likely it's a case of mistaken identity.

Something that hasn't been mentioned: the s4 turbo wheels are very heavy and will decrease your car's performance.

Probably not mentioned because it's not relevant to the question.

True. I just like how people assuming that because their car has something now that it came that way from the factory. In this case, it's probably true. Nobody in their right mind would put 4 lugs on something.

ok?

Ok sorry if i sounded stupid that wasnt my intentions... but my title clearly says GXL on it, as well as the fenders but i mean may have been switched i bought fromr a dealer really cheap...so i take it my size is one of these two?

14x5.5 (steel) w/114.3x4 bolt pattern (Base)
14x5.5 w/ 114.3x4 bolt pattern (Base, Luxury, 87.5-88 SE)

Just curious... i mean i will check the title again but pretty sure it said Gxl on it.
