16's? 6's and 7's?
NEVER seen them... has to be a jap knock off of the turbo twists.. Test fit them on your car before you buy them... They look really good though...

So long as they are 5x130mm bolt spacing you should be ok. You may also need spacers. Could be mille miglia?

From just looking at the pics, the spacing looks significantly smaller than 5 x 130mm.

seems 5x117 = 5x114.3? found on bmw forum.
5x114.3 fits mazda and a bunch of others.

Huh?!? That makes no sense.
That's like saying 3 feet = 2 feet.

Again, if "Mazda wheels" are 5 x 114.3, and the wheels in your picture are 5 x 117, rest assured they are NOT "Mazda wheels."

again, cant find anywhere that sells a 5x117 wheel. I think the guy measured from outer edge to outer edge vs centers... who knows. I've got an email into him
looking at the mazda's again on a few other sites.. the mazdas dont have the sort of tail at the wheel edge like the ones for sale do..
in any case... they are not 5x130 and i guess i shouldnt buy them. 175 bucks just caught my eye.

They look like the twist replicas some VW guys have on their cars (corrados and such).

IIRC, Corrados are either 5x130 like the porsche, or are 4x100 like the Honda. I would have to check the first figure with my friend who owns/owned a few, but she was just looking at Porsche wheels for hers.

Yup. I was wrong, Corrados have a 5x100 pattern.

Nov 26 2006, 08:48 PM
Ah, 5x100 sounds more correct. My friends is a 4 lugger so I wasnt sure.

They came off of a 1991 Toyota MR2... the seller says "the website says 5x117" --- SO I GO find on an MR2 site. They are 5x114.3 and it says:
Lug nut pattern for the MkII is 5-on-114.3 mm. If you think that’s a bit peculiar as a size, its because it is a Ford bolt pattern converted to metric.
turns out the center bore is 117...
SO, mystery fully solved...
anybody in az have an mr2 that wants some rims cheap.

yup my main concern was that they were not the right bolt pattern.. which is why I said to make sure they fit before you buy them...
