Your bolt pattern is 4 X 110. This pattern is uncommon, and was used almost exclusively by Mazda. If you have the steel wheels, you can get the stock alloys off of an early RX7, or Mazda 626.

I don't think that any other manufacturers use this pattern.

If you are looking for a cheap stock wheel, there may be plenty of older Mazda steel wheels. I think the early RX2s, 3s, & 4s all used the same pattern as your 1st gen.

As a 1st gen owner, I can confirm what adam c said. There are no other manufacturers that made alloy wheels in 4x110 and in the correct offset for a 1st gen. The early steel wheels from the 1st RX-7s, and RX-2 to RX-5 (though not RX-5/Cosmo AP) are the same PCD and offset, though they are only 5" wide. Even the stock "+" alloys are 5.5"

If you've got a GSL-SE (or have converted to GSL-SE hubs) then the stud pattern and offset is 4x114.3mm (4x4.5") and the offset is +38/40, I think. Lots of things fit the GSL-SE pattern, try Nissan Silvias, 200/240SX or whatever you guys call them. YMMV.

If i'm correct the stock + alloy 5.5 wheels (4x110) have a offset (ET) of 25.

Can anyone confirm that?
