When I had my 86, it was my first car that did not have 5x114.3 PCD so I couldnt use my older Work Wheels that I used on my MR2 GT and Supra. When I sold it and got a Nismo 370Z I ended up buying new wider rims (11.5 inch on the rears). The GR86 was perfect opportunity to use the 114.3 PCD. Supra has the BMW hubs (hence why its not really a JDM chassis wise, its euro underneath, the panels are also made in Austria by same BMW suppliers).
Car parts are global nowadays so many of the parts (including panels) assembled in Japan are not made in Japan anyway.
And none of the export cars have JDM parts since they are not JDM cars. JDM is not a designation it was simply made in JApan but means it was made in Japan for Japan. All of the others are JEM (Japanese Export Market) cars.
No doubt that many will be happy they stuck to the old bolt pattern so they can use the wheels they already have!
