The RX7 wheels are 4x110. And they usually run a near zero offset on a 15x7 rim.

Look at offset and the thickness of the adapter to make sure they can be installed on a 510. A 510 requires flares if you run a 15x7 +0. Generally 15x7 +18 to +25 can be used on a stocjk fendered 510 , but this depends on which front struts you have, what your tire size is, if you've rolled the fender lips and the car's ride height.

Safe sizing for wheels/tires for a stock fendered 510 w/stock struts is a 15x6 +24 with 195/50-15.

There are a ton of variables when fitting wheels to a 510, many of them are induced by what modifications have been done to the car.

As to buying Panasports, the VTO Classic 8 looks similar. These wheels are of very good quality and less expensive than Panasports. There are a number of Realm members that have VTO wheels on their cars.

'85 RX-7 GSL-SE will have the same bolt pattern as the 510. Same car used to be used for the wagon axle swap (disc brakes). FWIW, which isn't much.

That specific model changed, and is the only one compatible with the 510.
