I found a set of 14x6 4x100 +45 offset Mazda wheels at a junkyard that weigh 9.5 lbs a piece and look good to boot (seven spoke aluminum, kind of like the ITR wheel).

So, what I need to do to make these fit my 91? I assume I'll need to have the center enlarged to fit in a Honda. Otherwise, they should be good to go, right?

Thanks.

talk to eg6ajk i think there are some issues with those rims

they'll fit just something has to be done...

dont quote me on it, it has something to do with machining
something...ask him hell give u more info..


hth..

 

there were two kinds of the 14x6" (that doesn't matter), either way one is 12-12.5lbs (90-3) and (94-7 style (HX look) was around 10.75-11.5lbs

two issues:
you can't use them with 10.3" brakes (GSR/EX/TEG), fits fine over 9.4" brakes
second you need to enlarge the inner hub area to 57-58mm (stock Mazda is around 53-4mm) which is too small...



otherwise a good choice, and since its .5" wider you can run 205/55R14 for extra grip

 

THey do fit, I put my friends miata wheels on my 90 hatch. THey do look good. the ones on the bottom are the ones I tried on my car.

 

I like the ones on the top... Gonna have to search for a pair now

 

ehh there light but i like the style of the civic hx rim better just go with those..

 

The upper ones look like a 7 spoke Mini RX-7 wheel I likee

speak of the devil u posted right after me...!
hows that for info at the touch of a button...!
good stuff.!

 

Those are the ones that I picked up. I put them on another scale and they came to 10.5lbs, which is still incredibily light for a 14x6 wheel. And yea, I do like the extra .5"-1" extra width over the Honda wheels.

I have a guy that can bore out the hubs, so all is good. Going to paint them gunmetal and put a 'H' centercap on them, so they should look good.

 

I sold my '94 Miata to my Dad when I bought the Type R, and I am seriously thinking about asking him for the old wheels since I had put 16's on the Miata .... (he doesn't need them!!).

 

dude put the crack pipe down!!!!!!

If the rims won't clear stock 10.3" brakes, how they gonna fit over ITR sized. 11.1" brakes???

 

Duh .....

See Signature ......

 

Plus he just said that the wheels on the miata were 16"'s....

et with the program!

 

No .... I put 16" wheels on my old Miata, so the stock 14" are just sitting in my parents basement, waiting for me to scarf them up!!!

Plus older Miata are 4 bolt .... Type R's are 5 bolt ...... so they wouldn't work even if they were 16's on a Type R ......

And I had Enkei 17's on my Type R ....
