Mid 90s 9 spoke mazda millenia rims on FC.. pics?

Had a 96 mazda millenia come into the shop today... saw the 15" rims and thought they would look really good on a FC.

They're 9 spoke 5 lug, with a mazda logo in the center.

Didn't snap any pics... but wondered if possibly anybody put them on their FC or has pics of them that I could photoshop...

They look decent...Might look really cool if you got them powdercoated or painted a little bit darker.

IT won't work. The FC rims are all ~42 offset, maybe 45 at most. Milly rims are ~55 offset, so they'd stick way in. They'd prolly hit the strut/s spring perch, and/or rub brake hardware. Not to mention looking shitty from the front/back.

Also they have a larger hub bore, so they wouldnt be centric on an FC hub, and they would vibrate a bit.

I know all this because my wife has a milly.

IF you were to try, I'd get the 99+ split-5 spoke 16's, or the S millenia 17" chrome 5 spokes.

Even if they would fit, I like the stock 91 rims you've got on there better anyway. They look good, are easy to clean, and are pretty light.

They look kinda like the GXL rims without the gray metal between the spokes.

Quick and shitty job, but it gets the point across. Wheels weren't big enough in pic so the front wheel looks distorted to ****, oh well.
