Wheels on the Mazda MX-5 Miata (NC): what actually works

The NC Miata wheel scene is the distinct-outlier roadster. The larger body wears clean 17-inch wheels flush under a drop, or a light track set, and — uniquely among Miatas — it runs a 5x114.3 pattern from its RX-8-derived hardware. That means the deep RX-8 and Japanese-coupe wheel catalogue fits, unlike the 4x100 NA/NB/ND. The power-hardtop cars are the show canvases. Rendering lets owners preview a flush 5x114.3 set against the larger body first.
