Absolutely nothing. Miata's have a 4x100mm pattern, so they don't even bolt up.

There were a lot of different wheels for the miata. My favorite are on the '96 M Edition... just like the one my wife drives.
Miata seats are alright, I think a solid set of bolsters makes the turbo/gtu seats just as good, if not better. The speakers in the head rest are cool.

anyone who thinks Miatas are gay, are have not quite grown up IMO. What about them is gay? is it their size, or weight? the fact that it is a convertible? I never understood that....My gf has a Miata and I drive it alot.....it is a great handling car that only needs a little more HP.....explain yourslef.

I don't really like the rims on the old ones. The rims on the 02' miatas look damn good. http://www.zensurweb.com/cars/miata/miata.htm

When the imitation Lotus Elan (Miata) came out in the fall of '89 it looked totally fresh, including the imitation Panasport rims. You might say it began the whole "retro" design craze which included the New Beetle, BMW Z3, Ford Thunderbird, PT Cruiser and Ford GT.

Compared with the huge wheel/tiny tire look that is now in fashion, the '90 Miata wheels do look a little dated now.

Headrest speakers eh? Hmmmmm. I'm assuming not all Miata seats have the headrest speakers as there was a set on EBay just the other day but they didn't look like they had speakers...

sounds like a cool replacement for vert seats...
