        What's the offset on the Enkei? Have to look up the 03 KIA brakes...are they a 4x100 or 4x113.3.

            You should be good Mike. Those wheels are over rated for a Festiva. They are extremely strong, but they don't bend, they Crack or shatter when they hit things. Not a good rally wheel for sure.

              offset is 28mm. 14" The 03 kia rio brakes are 4 x 100. They are big to!!! They are bigger then the aspire brake swap. You cant run 13" rims with 03 rio brakes tho. Must be 14" And i would guess that not all 14" will fit. Mine are close.

              The rims i got were not cheap either. i paid more for the rims on the car then i did my other car!!!They were around 200$ each. SHop around and you can get a few bucks off tho.

              The rear will need some work to get the 4 x 100 bolt pattern tho. I bought new rear drums and redrilled them to 4 x 100 on a cnc mill! You can do that or you can get aspire spindles and all brake components and just redrill the mounting flange to bolt to the festiva beam. Or take the entire aspire beam. Wheel to wheel.

                Great info. Didn't know a 28mm offset would fit that well. I can get those very reasonably. I'll put them on my short list . What is the wheel bore of the Enkie's you have?

                  I don't know. I had to hit the I'd with a die grinder until they fit. Took like 30 minutes each wheel

                    If you are looking for center caps, check into these.

                    This guy bought a set and painted them black. Can't remember the size, but they are cheap!

                      Kind of figured. They spec at 54mm IIRC. The Festiva hub is like 59.6. A touch larger.

                        Aspire hub is the same as miata. Festiva is larger than both. Can't remember the actual size, but I do know miata/aspire is smaller than VW/BMW and Festiva is larger than VW/BMW. I turned my hub center down on my drums to fit my BMW fitment wheels (after redrilling them to 4x100 b/c), but then Miata wheels wouldn't fit my drums, but fit my front Aspire brakes just fine.

                          I've got Isuzu Impulse wheels on mine. They are 14x6 and 28mm offset. They are about flush with the fenders. However, I have 155's.

I put a set of cheap Achilles Economist tires in a 165/55-14 size on my 14x7 OZ turbines and have been very happy with the ride quality, traction and wear so far. I tried them for a weekend on the track when I didn't have any R comps mounted and they held up amazingly well for super cheap tires. I can't say enough good things about them.

                              This is good to know about the Achilles! Thanks! I thought about them before I got the Yokohama

                                There are some 14x7 toyota celica wheels on ebay right now for 400 bucks with free shipping. They are 4x114.3 though and a really low offset (8mm?) So that's probably not a good wheel choice for anyone serious about performance.
