    Swapped the white LEDs for Amber in the parking lights, and moved the white LEDs to the side markers since those have been dead for I dunno how long. Also swapped the blue LED in my temp gauge for an Amber LED. It's not nearly as bright as the blue, but almost matches the cluster now.

    Hi, I'd love to see what you used to make your armrest

I'll take a picture and post it in the center console thread tomorrow, lol.
    I'd like to see if I could find something similar for the armrest!

    NA Miata wheels?

  5. #1885
    Good eye!

    Off my crapcan Miata.

    The bolt pattern is the same, but the stock center bore is too small for the Mirage - I enlarged it a couple of millimeters.

    Only 3 more wheels to go...

    Are you putting your Mirage steel wheels on your Miata? Assume they would fit just fine as is.

    How did you go about enlarging the center bore?

    A carbide grinding dremel bit and 4 or 5 coarse mini sanding wheels. And entirely too much time.

    It'd be a 10 minute job in a machine shop.

    I have a spare set of 14" steelies with snows that will be placeholders on the Miata when its wheels are on the Mirage.

    I tried this with some steel kijiji wheels from an accent that I took the sellers work that the center bore was correct. I used the same method but gave up after half way through the second wheel. Using a tiny pancake air compressor didn't help things.

    Hopefully aluminum goes faster, unless it plugs up your bit.
