will these work???

Two 15 x 7" gold mesh aluminum wheels. One wheel is new and has a Prime Wheel sticker on it. Offset is 20mm (approx 3/4"). Second wheel is used and in good condition, no markings or name brand appear on the wheel. By my measurements, offset is approx. 13mm ??? So I am guessing the wheel was really a 1/2" offset ? These wheels have rolled aluminum rim sections with cast centers and are lighter than cast rims. These wheels will fit a 4 bolt 4 1/4" bolt circle (4 x 108mm). They were originally sold to me as part of a lot of 4 on 4 1/2" bolt pattern wheels and one of these wheels is even erroneously marked 4 on 4 1/2" but both wheels are 4 on 4 1/4" bolt pattern. please respond i have a 87 n/a rx7 4 lug i dont know the pattern and if these will fit my car and i want to buy these.

20mm is way off for offset. and 13 is ever further. I have no idea why you would even think about 2 rims with differnt offsets.

depending on how many lugs you have, you want either 4x114.3mm or 5x114.3mm with a 38mm offset

The offset is way off and will radiclly stress the bearings if you use them, as well as add all sorts of odd handling quirks.

In addition, the bolt pattern on the 4 lug FC is 4x4.5, so those wheels wouldn't even mount.
