I don't know if they are OEM, but there are tons of keys for RX-7's for sale on Ebay.
Back in my youthful days of innocent ignorance, I used my only key to adjust the drum brakes on my car, and it broke. I soldered a wire in the groove down the key and basically soldered the key back together. Then I took it to a hardware store and got it copied. The new key worked great.

I lost the key to the other vert I had, a locksmith made me a new
key from the truck lock. Apparantly the trunk lock contained
all the information needed to make a new key, there was like
10 different things they needed, glove box only had a few, door only
a few, but the truck had all of them.
For $25 they made 3 keys and I only had to give them the trunk lock.

Any dealer must be able to cut their make's keys! We cut them everyday, **********ers lose too many keys.
Edit: You don't even need the whole VIN, just the last 8 digits, 6 will do too, but some computers need to use 8 sometimes. BTW, our parts dept. can cut ANY key, import or domestic. Beat that biatch. LOL
