wheels for rx2 ??

Hi Everyone, I am noew here and I hope this is the right place to post this.

I recently purchased a 72 rx2 and I am having a problem finding wheels for it, I cant live with the stock 13's. I would really like a set of 16's or 15's.

Anyone know where to find wheels for my car?

Thanks in advance

New wheels r going to be hard to find, the 4x110 pattern isn't made any more. Those 16" and 17" wheels I've seen on old school rotarys r from the owner switching to the GSL-SE suspension. Keep a check on thepartstrader.com, I've seen sets for the 1st gen, non-SE bolt pattern.

Found this site with a Google search of "4x110"

Harder than hell to find wheels. I looked on ebay and the forum here for months. wheels.com sells one 15" set. They are nice lightweight racing rims. But not always the best for everyday use. The roads in SoCal are great compared to MN so you will be OK
