To start with Mazda didn't make that many FCs with 4 lug axles, and most of the cars that have 4 lug are (shudder) Hondas, that are front wheel drive with a different offset.

Well yes if you have an old 4 lug axle it is unusual.

WRONG!! Tons of FC's are 4-lug...in fact most 86-88 NA's are 4 lug, except for the GTU, Sport, and maybe some GXL's...

I've searched in hella places before my friend finally told me to just go to tirerack.com. They have some awesome prices for some nice rims from OZ, to Kosei. I personally have the Kosei Racing Seneca's with Bridgestone Potenza's SP2 wrapped around them. I think my grand total was like 1100 with shipping or something around that. In any case, check it out, but if you don't like what you see, then I have no clue where else to find them.
