True. Civic center bore is 56.1mm and these MINI wheels bolt right up. Seems the Miata has 54.1 center bore... needs hub centric rings to adapt the 56.1mm wheel)to the 54.1mm hub. Can be had cheap online (10 or 20 bucks for the set).

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
