Okay, I am trying to find some 15" steelies for my protege. Does anyone know what car came with a 15" 5x114.5 bolt pattern with an appropriate offset?

As Phil said look for some Eclipse/Talon/Laser wheels. My 14" steelies are from a 1993 and are 14x5.5 +35 offset with the 67.1 hubbore and 5x114 bolt pattern.

Miata? Jeff is rockin Miata wheels on his car.

Yup but they are my summer wheels and 16's.

Okay, time to call up junkyards I guess. Craigslist has not netted me anything for quite a while now.

I picked mine up at a local junkyard for $100. Here's a good website for some reference. Did a quick look and it seems as though the Diamante wheels will work as well.

Thanks for the link Jeff. Last time I went to the junk yard, none of the cars had all four wheels on them. And they had a few sets inside, but they were crazy overpriced. I guess I need to keep looking. I don't know maybe more protege5 wheels are the ticket.

As for the knob, magnum can have it if he wants.

NP...hope it helps. Don't you have more than one junkyard around town. I called several within a 40 or so mile radius before finding a set.

 

[roy obanion]

Well I went to all 3 of the ones I know. I just called a couple of wheel guys, and they want 75-85 a wheel. I think I will likely get alloys the way things are going. Not that it's a bad thing really, I was just trying to be cheap.

Funny thing, i'm not even tempted.

I've come to grips with i am not boosting the car.

My funds are tied up in headlights at the moment, then will be in suspension, then i'm done with the car.

Left her in the driveway so I could drive the miata to work. Ah the joys of daily driving the shouty car to break the new engine in LOL

[mx-p5]

I drove past it again this AM in the PT Loser.

I'll be using the Loser to go get wheels and tires today after work though. We couldn't meet up lastnight to get em

No, DX/LX/ES Sedans, P5s and MSPs all have the same thread pitch and diameter. The MP3s have the different pitch (10x1.25 as opposed to 10x1.5 I believe). The issue with MSPs is that the knob is much "deeper" than the other model's knobs in that the threaded part is much further inside the knob. The stock shifter on the P5 has a metal piece that gets in the way and doesn't allow the knob to be threaded on. I believe most, if not all aftermarket shifters will allow the use of the MSP knobs.

thanks for the info, just bought one of these. looks like it was in great shape. totally forgot about the fitment. should be here any day now.
