hmmm...they could work, but has a +42 offset and 73.1 bore (Proteges have 67.1 bore). both wheels definitely look nice.

they will fit if they are 5x114.3. The offset is a little low at +42, but you can get away with it since you drive a MSP. tire choice should be 215/45/17, same as stock MSP. you may need hubcentric rings because the bore of those wheels are 73.1 mm and we have 67.1 mm.

what is a centric hub ring. let alone what does the bore have to do with anything...sorry for my newbness

 

[ChopstickHero]

Hub centric rings are manufactured so that when they are installed on a vehicle, the wheels are located directly off of the centre flange of the brake drum or rotor. This is done to insure that the outer beads of the wheel are concentric with the wheel bearings. The result is a much truer, better balanced tire/wheel assembly. This is very important with modern high tech suspension systems.

center bore is the big hole in the center of the wheel. this fits over hub.

would the 18' fit the msp ??

 

[GhostMercury]

what size and material should i get?

would the 18' fit the msp ??

that first site listed specifies them as 18"x8" +45 offset. it can fit, however you will get some rubbing for sure. i've seen a Protege5 run RX8 wheels and it rubs a little on the strut and definitely on the fender. so you will need to roll/shave your fenders to prevent it from rubbing there. as for the rubbing on the strut, +45 offset may let you get away with that, but you may need thin spacers if they do rub. you will also have to run a very thin profile tire, most likely 215/35/18.

what size and material should i get?

obviously the 73 to 67.1 hubcentric ring. up to you. plastic is fine. but aluminum won't crack. depends on what you want to pay.

 

[GhostMercury]

and without them what would happen?

 

[chaos2015]

your wheels only be center with your lugnuts and they will prabably vibrate alittle

 

[GhostMercury]

are these things easy to install? or should i know something

 

[ChopstickHero]

from what i've read, you need to get your neighborhood certified mechanic to install them..... jk




if you don't know how to put on hubcentric rings, you shouldn't touch your car.

 

[GhostMercury]

well i dont even know wtf they are but if you just put it on behind the wheel then i could easily do that

 

[chaos2015]

make sure its the master tech too lol

they just slip over the hub and take up the area between the centerbore of the wheel and the hub

 

[GhostMercury]

i beat up the master tech and decided to do it myself cause he wanted 15,000 dollars to do this

 

[We Are Ninja]

I'm actually curious about where these can be found/when they will be released as well. Those are hotter than the sun in bronze with the machined lip... jeez louise.

 

[Run for Cover]

soOo will these work for the MSP? will they fit? let me know...

 

[GhostMercury]

yes the 17x7 ones will with the hug centric rings, using the stock tire size.
