    Nice wheels too - they should fit your Mirage. Would you be interested in putting them on and posting a photo for us?

    I think you're going to like it. No promises but I think the width and offset will be fine.

    Ha - I have half of the combo! I just got a crappy 1990 Miata for $750 a few months ago:

    It's the opposite of yours, andrefsbispo: mine was not well looked after, has higher kilometers (216k), dent on the driver's side, and a rust hole in the floor because the top has leaked on the carpets for years!

    But it runs well, is a joy to drive - it makes me smile. I'm looking forward to next summer.

    it was a bargain, in portugal they are so expensive but they are in pretty good condition. No snow, no salt, no rust
