MX-5 wheels

[mmills416]

Will the 17 stock MX-5 wheels fit on a Speed3?

 

[mdavis]

why would you ever want to do that?

 

[mmills416]

Because I live at a race track and traded in my MX5 for my Speed3 and I own a set of wheels with 235/40/17 Toyo RA1 with the perfect amount of tread left.

Yes, they will. I've seen a couple of people put NC 17"s on their MS3s. If I could find a set today, I'd buy them in a heartbeat, but they're the unicorns of Mazda OEM wheels.

I have an 07 MX-5 and 07 Speed3. I recently bought new wheels and tires for the Speed3 and thinking about getting new wheels and tires for the MX-5. I can say this, the Speed3 wheels fit the MX-5:

I will take everyone's word that 17" NC wheels will fit a Speed3. If I think of selling my wheels, I'll pm you guys...

Just like how speed6 wheels look sick on a speed3!

Those wheels are way too heavy for the MX-5...its no longer called a Miata.
Being an ex-Miata owner/racer, you want to find the lightest wheels possible for your MX-5. I agree it looks good, but your car must drag ass with those heavy MS3 wheels.

Which is why I never drive around with them on. Speed3 wheels are WAY to heavy for the MX-5. I just took a few shots after installing them but never kept them on.

The MX-5 went to a 5 bolt pattern in 2006 with the release of the NC body style.

They do look sweet though... (2thumbs)

I'm also interested in 17" NC wheels for my 6, but I'm not sure if the load rating is high enough for a 3000+ lb car. Anyone know?

...its no longer called a Miata...

what the $%&# are you talking about? It's called an MX-5 Miata, same as it always was

^^^ They actually just put the Miata name back in for '08, seems some people in North America got confused about what an MX-5 was.

 

[nate0123]

It never went away.

Need more proof?

There were rumors before the 2006 model came out that the "Miata" name would be dropped, but it never was.
