      And almost anything else with a 4by100 bolt pattern.

      The big thing you should watch for is hub size and that they will clears your calipers.

      94 Protege LX: HX-35, Megasquit, ect...
      98 Subaru Legacy GT-DD: 1 inch lift, and all the standard N/A stuff.

          I'll probably get flamed for saying this(though I shouldn't), but those Tracer wheels look like swastikas.

                      Just saw a pair of 7 spoke EGT wheels at the yard today...

                      Integra wheels are too common and too expensive at the same time. Ofcourse I always would go for Mazda wheels first...makes you look like more of an enthusiast if you have various model Mazda parts on your Protege.

                        Hey MazKid, what year Miata wheels do you have on your car and how much were they?

                          2001(to 2003) 16" wheels.

                          They were $100 for the set, with the OEM Bridgestone Turanzas. I had to replace the tires because they had very poor traction in the rain or even when it was just below 70F. The wheels have some curb rash and recently got some gouges on the passenger ones(I think my dad might have knicked them with the lawn mower or something, not sure but they are recent).

                          Wheels are 15lbs each and my 205/45 Toyo Proxes FZ4s are 21lbs each, or so, and are as close to the stock 185/60 14 tire size on the LX, and it only offsets my speedometer like 2.3% I think it is.

                            I hope I can find some at the local junkyard, thanks MazKid.
