I've found many ITR owners recommend Mazda Millenia wheels because of their near stock-like specs and being very lightweight. I'm going on a search for a set of Mazda Millenia wheels to use as track wheels but was unsure what year and model range I should be asking for. Anyone know the specifics? Also do these use the stock acorn lug nuts or will I need to get tapered lug nuts?

edit- For clairification I'm trying to find the proper years and trim levels that the 7-spoke Millenia wheels came on.

Good info on Millenias.

I'm not aware that there are/were 7 spoke Millenias. The 9 spoke are very nice and light, however.

Hope this helps.

i got mine from ebay, 200-250 is a good deal... i think all of them will fit, but its just a matter of design u want... also, it looks like it will use a taperd nut...

 

They are 9 spoke (not 7) and the 12 spoke 929 wheels work well too.

I have a set of each. I think I like the 929's better.

Thanks for the link, that's what I was looking for, my mistake it was the 9-spokes.

Confirmation on the acorn lugs working/not working?

 

Conical/Tapered Acorn style work.

 

 

There's a few old threads I found on h-t with the exact same info. Tried them on my millenias sunday, too.

 

You just named both types. Conical/Tapered work. Acorn do not seat properly.

Willard those are not the lightweight ones. What year are those?

Trey

 

97-98 15 spoke.

 

Bling Blang BlOOONg!!!!


I use mine for winter driving. Can't wait to take em' off and put the R wheels and summer tires back on in 2 weeks

 

Only 11.5lbs for the 95-96 Millenia wheels!? Tell me this is true because if it is I'll be kissing my CRV rims goodbye in a hurry.

 

Yea, 11.5lbs sounds about right. They certainly feel lighter than the stock R wheels. Here are mine in action at Expo '02! They will be painted by Expo '03. Black or gunmetal - haven't decided yet. I think Trey decided for me when he posted his Gunmetal's a couple weeks ago .



edit - take out plate

They are pretty light.... but with the azenis mounted on them, I can't tell how much lighter than stock. Several websites say 11.5 lbs though....

Chris - who painted his flat black this weekend and needs to find a clear coat this afternoon to finish...

 

My mom has a 95 Millenia S! I did not know this. I must convince her to give mer her wheels when she sells the car!

929s

 

Very nice Trey!

I like the Millenias better personally.

 

I like these. Look like BBS.
~32lbs with 205-50-15 Azenis

B2, do you have another pic that shows the whole cah?

Ill try and put up my pics of 929 vs Millenia tonite....I prefer the 929s I think.

 

I wana post a picture too

 

Me three.

 

That's so cool you guys are painting them and everything. I can't wait to find mine, I found a salvage yard who had 4 of them but we only found 3 when we were there. Hopefully they call me up soon telling me they found the last one. I'm hoping to rock these at my next track event at WSR on the 21st.

 

How about Camo-Milenias
