This is my car today:
I got these Protege rims sometime a year ago. I love em! Gives my car a stock, but updated look. But they are starting to wear off on me a little and I might be looking to update once again. I wanna keep the stock/sleeper look. So just wanted to see who has what to say about it. Update them or keep them?
Early third gen Protege rims, 15":

Miata rims 1, 16":
Miata rims 2, 16":

That's what I was going to suggest^^ haha
I like the Pro #2 and the Miata #2. its a toss up. I would think the Miata's are lighter

I like the miata 2. they have a bit of an agressive look to them

Same here... but I'd go aftermarket. I prefer 10 spoke, like these Drag:jeffs93toy wrote:I like the miata 2. they have a bit of an agressive look to them
