2000 Protege wheel upgrades
Whats crackin Mazda maniacs? I'm planning on upgrading the wheels on my 2000 ES Protege as soon as the current tires wear out. I was wondering if anyone knows what the weight of the OE 15" wheels are, because I'm hoping to gradually make this into an autocross car, and I don't want to increase the weight. I figure 16" or 17" diameter wheels would look pretty sweet, and allow me to install better brakes. BBS, Gram Lights, and SSR are my top choices, but if anyone out there knows of better value alternatives, I'd like to know. I was also considering finding some 16" split 5 spoke wheels from the later years of the 2nd gen Miata (the bolt pattern works for the Protege). Please post if you have and ideas or info for me!
