My rims have evenly spaced holes. What size are your tires? Hey I do like that little hood scoop. Should help keep the engine compartment cooler in the summer. Nice too if it had a damper you could open and close on rainy days. Like I said I'll post pics tonite. Thanks all

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

The tires are 215/35-18

The hoodscoop isn't directly dropping to the engine. The air travels over the inside of the hood and will enter the engine compartment at about strutbar height.
(this way there will be almost non water, even if it's raining like crazy)
Just another Mx3 freak :)

Man, those combo 5 and 4 lug universal holes look like a mess. I wouldn't feel safe driving on those rims.

So the general consensis is don't do it. That's tough because I'm getting these on a trade. Well I guess that may mean off to the [FS] section. Shoot.

OHHH Thats me!! :lol: :love2: ahah

No worries, I would just throw them on Kijiji.ca and see what you can get. My 17's are like riding on rocks.... I hate it but it's not the daily driver! :welder:

Yea those racinghart rims look very unsafe... not much material in between the holes! Then again there Racinghart... They made the Protegespeed and Miataspeed rims, so I assume they know what there doin! :shrug:
