Wheels: What Else Fits the Mirage? (With photos)

[Basic]

Probably not. But even fake ones add some extra support.

So I found out I need to fill out a DOT HS7 form for importing wheels? Anyone have experience with that?

Yeah but usually the shipper does that

Will 195/50/15s on a 15x6 fit a 2023 without any issues?

Side note: I've been doing some research here on TPMS options but has anyone just bought some eBay/OEM Reman versions and just run them? The light on the dash isn't the biggest deal, as we just swap over the stock wheels and tires when inspection time comes, but in the event we just want to add in some sensors to these wheels; I'd much rather just buy some off the shelf ones and just go.

Looks good!

The problem with Miata rims is their center bore is too small. Otherwise they have some great looking rims.

Meaning the hub bore is 54mm rather than our 56.1mm. They will fit if you're willing to do a little machining.

Dremel tool (and patience) to the rescue! This car doesn't normally wear these wheels (stock 1990 Miata alloys), but I wanted the option. So now they're lug-centric.

The short answer is this...

There are non-OEM TPMS sensors that you can install in those wheels. But...you will have to get those new sensors programmed to your car (which can be a pain in the butt because it's a Mitsubishi). The easy/best solution for what you want is to have your 4 original TPMS sensors cloned...then install the 4 cloned sensors in your aftermarket wheels. Then your TPMS system will continue to function normally and your TPMS light won't be on all the time.

For detailed info on all of this, see THIS thread.

Well crud. Was hoping it wouldn't be such a hooplah, but it is what it is. I'll put it on the "To-Do" list

Using my Autel TS408 tool (lifetime updates available), I can read the four factory sensors & clone 4 new ones (Autel MX-Sensors) to match them in about 15 minutes. So far I have cloned factory sensors for my 2017 Mirage, 2011 Subaru Forester, & 2015 Impala (driving school car) without any issues. My point - it's not a big job for someone who has the right tool.

The advantage of cloning - When I change my Mirage & Forester wheels (summer/winter) twice a year (spring & late fall), I don't have to do anything TPMS related. The vehicle doesn't even know a wheel switch occurred.

If my new sensors weren't cloned to the factory sensors, I wouldn't waste my money on a 2nd set. I'm not interested in reprogramming my vehicle's TPMS every time I switch out my wheels. If you're only messing with one vehicle, it probably doesn't pay to buy a programming tool.

I would get a quote from a place like Discount Tire, & I would be very specific. I would tell them that I want new sensors cloned to match my factory sensors & installed into my new set of wheels. It will cost something mostly likely to install them, because the wheels will need to be removed, sensors installed, re-balanced, & put back on your car.

I hate TPMS, but I do whatever to live with it.

I agree wholeheartedly with Top Fuel and when I went to aftermarket rims on my OS/RVR/ASX (shares the same TPMS system that's on the Mirage) that's exactly what I did. No issues ever.

Does look quite nice. Good job.
