I know the Mazda bolt pattern of that vintage is one of the few that'll fit the Suzukiclones. I've been keeping an eye out for a set of 13 inch "phone dial" alloys from a 323. No luck yet. (Also don't know what they weigh relative to my stock steelies.)

Nokian H - that the same thing Chang uses on his 118 mpg CRX? Modified Honda CRX HF Scores 118 MPG in Fuel Economy Run | Hypermiling, Fuel Economy, and EcoModding News - EcoModder.com
