Good luck finding 16's with a 4x110 bolt pattern. Every once in a while you can find some used 15s. I think team dynamics sells new ones - they aren't cheap.



re-speed sells a kit so you can convert to a 5x114. that's what we did. running t2 brakes and such too.

We just sold our set of 15's locally. Nobody wanted spend 450 on rims,

You will have a hell of a time finding the bolt pattern, then the offset you need, Better luck running into bigfoot on a camping trip.

I would suggest selling the SA and buying a SE at least it has a typical bolt pattern and offset, 4x114.3 and plus 40mm.

Yes, 12A cars with a 4x110 need a plus 12-15mm offset. If it was an se you could chose from more wheels than you care to know about. 4x114.3 offset 35-42mm. Thats the reason I did the T2brake and hub swap, no wheels available, except 13 inch steels for road racing.

There is always the full custom route... but I think that at that point you are spending 4-500 per rim without the tire.

Thats funny, you may want to buy a lotto ticket. We just sold our 15's to a local autocrosser. Now were runnning 17's. I think the 79 guy was looking for some, you might want to send him a pm.

Hey, I am reading different info from a bunch of different places. I have an 85 RX7 GSL which has the 12 A engine. Do i have the 4x110 pattern with the +15-20 offset or the 4x114.3 pattern? Needed to know cuz i screwed up a rim pretty bad.



Cheers
