95 Miata rims fit 97 Civic Hatchback

I found a good deal on clean rims. Has any body had long term success with the OEM Miata rims on their hatch?

I think they should, I gave my aunt my boys 4 lug doughnuts that came with his miata.

No they won't. Miata hub centers are too small. You can use honda rims on a miata. But cannot use miata rims on a Honda. Unless you bore out the hub centers.

Either that or the doughnuts came from a civic because they really fit perfect.
