New rims on my MX3. what do you think?

Post by edger0587 »

So, I found some 16" miata rims, from the 2002 version. I really like how they look on the mx3, and thought I should share them with you

YES THEY ARE! Hee Hee I love my oem SE wheels, gonna get them restored this year, look killer! I'm thinking gunmetal, or maybe a little darker silver. But those Miata wheels give the mx a nice contemporary feel, I like it a lot. If that car is super clean, with those wheels, I bet it'd be hard to tell if it's a 15 yr old car (to those not familiar)!!!!

I believe all the aluminum rims for the mx-3 were Enkei. My old honeycomb ones were and I believe my 5 spokes are too... :shrug:

Since the last pictures were a bit dark, try this one instead. And yes, that is a corolla86 hatchback in the back. It's my neighbors
