I've been looking for a set of Kia Rio alloys like you have on the rear in this picture, but I haven't been able to find a set yet. Looks like Escort rims up front.Originally posted by 1990new View Post
I haven't been able to touch the Kia Rio alloys yet, so I don't know what they weigh. May be you can tell me how heavy the Kia Rio alloy rims feel compared to the lightweight Miata rims that you are now running? Could you tell the difference?
I really don't want to strap a heavy rim on my car. Those Miata rims are only about 11lbs. Rio alloys ?Last edited by wwwdotgov; 11-22-2016, 01:33 AM.Comment

Seems like I weighted them at one point but now I don't remember how much they weighted.
I sold the those Kia wheels some time ago and then finally gave away the Escort wheels after I sold the tires that were on them.Comment

Festiva Lug bolts vs Lug bolts I used with my Miata Wheels.
The bigger one is from a 2001 Kia Rio. I used these to mount my Miata Wheels on Trixie.
The total length of the threads is only 1 mm longer than the Festiva lugs, but the conical shoulder
piece is bigger and there is a washer at the top of it also. The conical angle appears to be the same.
