Gp sport body kit, midnight blue paint job, tint, seats, lowering springs, grill for the kit. Ill post pics soon. but to the point, i was wondering if there were any years of miatas that where made that would have the same wheel size as an fc. or where i can find cheep rims for my fc. if anyone has noticed its hard to find um. but yea thats my last one for now till the end of the summer, and then the engine goes into the works. but thanks for any help. later guys

Ive seen some FCs with 17" chrome mustang cobra wheels that look damn good. You should be able to have some luck on ebay on a good set for under 600 including shipping..............I've got 17" inch Konig Monsoons that look really good on it that i got off of ebay for 140. I dont think you have to spend more than 800 for a good high quality wheel.

the kregger (sp) style mustang wheels look hot on fc's also, eventhough it's mostly a muscle car wheel, I dident think they looked good untill I saw them for myself.

There's always wheels from a S5 TII. Those look hot and are usually pretty cheap.

Look for cheap tuner rims on ebay. I've seen some knockoff stuff go for $200 shipped. It's the same stuff the Honda tuners/ricers are looking at. In their case, 17" rims look stupid wrapped around 11" disks and red painted drums.

How much are you looking to spend? Is your heart set on 17's? 16X7's would be a huge improvement over 14" phonedials, and you could easily put 225's on them.

If you snipe this auction, you might get them perty cheap.
