New Wheels!

[Betrivent]

I got these off a guy locally. They're Mazda MX-3 rims, 1995 I think.

They came with BRAND NEW tires. They even still have the little stubs.

Enjoy!

[st0rmfreak]

those look amazing. i have always liked 5 spokes.

[Betrivent]

Yeah, I prefer 5 spoke as well, looks clean but not too clean

[advocate]

Those look great! I would love to see some full on shots of the wheel and also any information on how much they weigh if you don't mind!

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Nice. thebarber also has those rims. He painted his bronze.

[Betrivent]

Yeah, I almost bought those off him :P

I've got better shots, let me upload them in a bit. I don't know how much they weigh, I didn't get a chance to.. I was too anxious to get them on!

[Betrivent]

Here are a couple more

Time for some new lug nuts!! But other than that looks great!!!

[Betrivent]

I know i need Lugs, these are off the stock wheels! I haven't had a chance to get some yet

[WeeYari]

Mazda 5 spokers :thumbsup:

Steelies lugnuts and clip-on weights :thumbdown:

Nice!

[Betrivent]

So a couple of dumb questions (I'm relatively new to cars, this is my first):

Are all lug nuts universal? I know there are a couple different types but other than that are they the same size for small cars?

And how exactly do wheel locks work?

[Phaeton]

There are different types of lugnuts for different types of stock wheels. Honda lugs are different than toyota. I'd take your car in to a local tire store and have them make sure you have the right kind.

[Betrivent]

I did some research and I'm pretty sure it's 12 x 1.5 or whatever. I'll be at a Toyota dealership tomorrow for my dad's corolla, I'll ask them then

[esquiva]

and maybe take off the mazda center caps.........?

[Betrivent]

I'd like to, are center caps usually interchangeable? If so I'll grab some toyota ones or something,

The thread pitch is the same, but I think he was referring to the seating of the nut i.e. some are a 60 degree conical at the lug nut-wheel interface. If you go and get stock replacement lugs from the mazda you should be fine....

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

they look like echo rims that toyota offered back then. i had a set on my 90 celica.....

[Thirty-Nine]

I like 'em. Nice, simple, clean.

[advocate]

Yeah I agree they look simple but effective for sure.

[Betrivent]

Thanks! I just got some chrome nuts for them and wheel locks, nice and shiney now!

[tomato]

I like 'em. Nice, simple, clean.

Wheels look great. Tyres (195/50's) are miniscule. Post some pics with the new lugs.

EDIT: How about red lugs?

[Betrivent]

I haven't had time to get new pictures with the new lugs. They're chrome, I don't think red would look too good, maybe if I ever upgrade my lugs (lol).

[jeneliachrist]

It looks very strong and of high quality.Can you let me know from where you have bought.

[Betrivent]

I got them locally off a private sale. I can tell you WHAT they are though. You an easily get them off the internet still. They are 1995 Mazda MX-3 Wheels made by Enkei.

[Betrivent]

Here's a picture with new lugs. I never got around to putting the pictures up, so here you go.

And my shift boot as well, I got it form Redlinegoods. Had it installed forever, but never posted it! (It looks better in person)

[AND189]
