I spent entirely too much time with a dremel tool recently.

The MPGiata's wheels have the right bolt pattern to fit the Mirage, but the center bore was too small by a couple of mm.

Fixed!

I'm putting some RE92's on them. This will allow me to do a LRR coastdown comparison (when the warm weather returns) with the Bridgestone Enasaves that Mitsubishi fitted on the Mirage.
