Good place to find Wheels for 1st Gens

My old stock wheels are all scratched to **** and Im really thinking about replacing them but I know that the 4x110 setup is not exactly a very easy setup to find rims for but does anyone know a good place to find rims for my Rex. I dont need a super large selection of wheels but atleast some amount (like 1 atleast lol) of wheels for my car. Thanks

I bought the Snypers through a small local speedshop a few years back. I haven't tried to find any links, since. (The fellow moved his shop from the downtown area, out of the city, and I haven't seen him, since.)

So long as you selected RX-7 and not GSL-SE... (GSL-SE has a 4 x 114.3 or 4 x 4.5 bolt pattern.)

What I'm wondering is if 4 x 4.5 is so much more popular, why are there only two wheel choices for the GSL-SE as well?

If you have the cash and a way to import them, you can get SSR Formula Mesh in just about any pattern and offset.
