Ok, I am almost ready to put on winter tires, but I need one more 14" steelie b/c one of the rims that came with the car is badly bent. Before I start stalking the junkyards ("automotive recycling facilities"), I need to know which other cars (make, model, year range) have 4-lug 14" steelies that I can put on my mx.

go on ebay, find some wheels have have ONLY 4x100 mounting holes, and look at what cars they will fit.

In one case the guy listed a whole bunch of applications, but I'll stick with the Mazda ones:

1989+ Miata
1990-2000 Protege
1990+ 323

Do you guys know which ones came stock with 14" 4-lug steelies?

probably all of them.

Thanks. I'll play it safe and look for Protege rims. The N.A.-market 323 is too small/ugly to come stock with 14s. (*) Mazda sold a high volume of Proteges and any half-decent junkyard should have their rims.

(*) The Euro model looks nice though.

I bought a couple of stock 14s taken right off an MX from that Jap junkyard on Finch/Weston. The extra one may come in useful considering that a friend RAMMED a high curb while I was teaching her to drive stick lol. On thursday the winter rubber is getting mounted/ballanced and I'll be getting her aligned sometime next week.

Btw. that MX is still around in case anyone in Toronto need something off it.

hey i have my stock 15inch alloys 5-star rims all four i live in mississauga if u want em with tires

I may wanna use'em for the spring/summer. The 14s are still gonna be used in the winter, with the winter rubber. Check your PM.

Update: Got the new tires on, and it's a night/day difference. On a sad note, that Jap place doesn't seem to like retaining customers. One of the rims that they sold me was bent (fortunately I didn't need it) and they wouldn't give me store credit for it. I wasn't even asking for cash. I'm not gonna be showing up over there again.
