    Will either of these RX-7 rims fit?

    Which of these rims will fit my '89 323?





    Just curious if either of these will fit because I'm reading a bolt pattern spec sheet and it lists my car as 4x114.3 and "some" rx7's as 4x100 and 4x114.3 While roaming around a junkyard today looking for a door handle I found two sets of the 4 spoke rx7 wheels and 1 pair of the honeycomb, all in pretty nice shape. I'm more interested in the four spokes, as one set had practically new kumo's on them and I can buy all four for $100. If I remember correctly the old rx-7's were 14x5.5 right? They also had some datsun z rims and toyota supra rims I could salvage but I'd rather stick with mazda if possible.

    Also, the old rx7 steering wheel (4 spoke) will fit too right? And 91 Protege seats will bolt up with minimum effort? Will the back seat from a pro fit?

    i can vouch for 2nd gen fc rx7 wheels fitting, which is the honeycomb not the four spokes, fb's are something stupid like 4x110

      I'm an RX-7 guy so maybe I can help. The ones in the pics won't work. You'll need the ones off a 1st gen 84-85 GSL-SE only! Or 86-87 Mazda 626. But the rex rims you showed won't fit - different pattern. You can find the GSL-SE rims on ebay. There were 4 last night when I looked in the LA area. REasonable price too.

          Bummer. I don't like the GSL-SE rims as much...might as well slap some escort rims on there. I'm mostly sad because the older rx7 rims looked brand new and had essentially new tires on them too. All 4 rims/tires for about $120 dollars would have been a sweet deal. Guess I'll keep looking because I'm just not loving the skinny 13" stock wheels.

                  Those I have on my BF, i got in Cleveland Pull a Part, brought to Ky and had them glass bead media blasted... inside out 3 hours $150.

                  That may not have been such a bad investment after all.

                  I was thinking, I was being extravigent to buy those and have them cleaned that well.

                  Thank you Sir!

                    Or get the RX7 mesh rims. IIRC, Greg Downing was running a set on his GTX.

                      2nd gen RX-7 works (the one with the 4-bolt pattern). I also have the phone dials that I use with studded snow tires. I agree about the 1st gen pics you showed. They're a dif pattern.

                        Fc (4 lug, ie "phone dials") = 4x114.3
                        Fb (gsl-se) 4x114.3
                        Fb = 4x110

                        so only the phone dials(14") and GSL-SE(13") wheels will fit.

                        - 2.2L Mx6 turbo motor swap, Mx6 turbo 5-lug and brakes

                          There were some MX-6 wheels that worked too. They were 15" phone dial style with smaller holes and more of them. I used to own a set and someone recently posted pics with some on.
