someone stole my rim PLZ HELP !!

i had taken a rim for my rx7 to work to mount a tire and balance it. then with the rim in the trunk my everyday car was stolen so ..

1- can someone help my find a website that sells this rim and/or does anyone have the rim (fittipaldi force 18X8.5 25 offset lug pattern to fit a 1986 rx7 n/a five lug) and....

2-does anyone know the 5 lug pattern measurments for the 1986 mazda rx7 n/a

thanks (PLZ any suggestions of what i can do are more then welcomed i dont know wat to do since the rim is very hard to find)

and can i have 3 rims with a 25 offset and 1 with a 38? is that possible or will i risk a comfortable ride

What wheel is it ?

All 5 lug rx-7s are 5x114.3. If you have a 4 lug 2nd gen you'll have a 4x114.3

According to the wheelspecs website, that model wheel was sold exclusively by Discount Tire Direct:

http://www.wheelspecs.com/specs/wheelmodels/1105

You might try phoning Discount Tire Direct (1-800-589-6789) to see if they happen to have any unsold single wheels lying around, or if they have any way to get in touch with the makers of the Fittipaldi wheels, if they still exist.

I would definitely not recommend putting a single wheel of different offset on the car as this would potentially throw off the handling balance to the point of being dangerous. You need to keep the wheels the same size and offset on a given axle.
