Default I need some wheels....~!

Been racking my brain for a while trying to find some decent 13-14" rims and its just driving my crazy. I mean there so hard to find.

I know there are some out there for a good price. I want something nice with the stock look. Nothing to flashy just all matching and close to stock with out braking the bank.

I know every one tells me to go bigger but I don't really like low profile tires they cost to much and I am just as happy with 25 a pop for my Kumos. I realy would only go up one size if I fould some decent wheels.

Just need some help I have looked on a lot of major site, still not much help.

I know I saw a good brand would there for less than 200 for all four.

any way just need some imput.


Oh the reason I am wanting new wheels is because not all my wheels now match, They feel like they don't all site right.

I believe a majority of manufacturers start their wheels at 15 inches and then go up. I know it's a rarity for sizes below that start point because the market just isn't there for smaller wheels. Perhaps there is a wheel distributor around you that might be able to help you track down some of them wheels to give you a selection, or maybe an internet website?

How many lugs is your car? try finding a none riced Honda either at a junk yard or whatever, most of the none rice, street racing Hondas generally use 13,14, and 15in rims. Just a thought

Cool ok guys. yeah i want to get ones that look kind of like stock but nicer. Yeah I figured I would have to go to a bigger size.

I guess I will try Tirerack again.

Well if you come across any please let me know.

non speed protege's are 4-lug. My friend has an LX Protege and he got MAzdaspeed miata wheels that are like the Mazdaspeed protege wheels in everyway except 4 lug instead of 5. It looks like he's a poser for Mazdaspeed but de hard Mazda fans will see the lug nuts and realize he put down good money for them (very few MSPD Miatas made)
