'01 Miata Wheels
I tried my old Miata wheels out tonight. The tires are correct for a Miata (195/50's) but they sure look tiny on a Yaris.
I definitely need to drop it an inch or two and get some 205/55's. For tires, I'm leaning towards the Dunlop Direzza DZ101.

15X6, 40 offset, 13.1 pounds.
(and yes, the rears are completely bald. That Miata sure was a fun car.)

They look pretty sharp. TireRack has a deal going on with the dz101. I think it's $50 rebate with a purchase of 4.

With some new rubber, you'll be looking very good!

A 205/55 should look nice and meaty.

Are you going to try to do something about the centers?

I'd like to replace/change the center caps but I dont have a clue where to look to get different ones or what I can do to the existing centers to remove the Mazda logo. They are plastic with the logo molded on the surface so popping the logo off is out.

Maybe you could sand the actual Mazda emblem off and repaint the center cap.

Sorry I know this thread is old.

Just got these miata wheels and I'm trying to figure out if they're acorn/60 degrees style lug or mag seat/flat. The mounting surface looks fairly flat but everything I've search comes up as 60 degree/acorn style.

They're acorns.

I have a Miata, I have these wheels (polished version).
