New (to me) wheels.

Chucked the wheels from the Mazda donor car onto the Festiva. Tires are a little oversized, but they'll do for now.

I like those white alloys .. I always thought they would look good on my car .

[monkeyracing]

Hey! They're silver. They're also filthy!

[packrat427]

OK , I believe you, They really look white , It must be the snow , and I an extremely tired .
Either way they look great !!

Now the trick is going to be finding the right rubber for these wheels. I've found 3 suitable sizes so far: 1 summer performance, and 2 race only tires. If I were in Europe, I wouldn't have any problems at all.

Monkeyracing,

I have the same wheels you do.
Running Falkin EZ-512's 175/60/13
Relatively cheap at $43 each plus shipping!
I like them, but might depend on what your doing with the car.

I'm building the car to handle corners. The one limitation is the unpredictable weather we have here. It could snow at any moment. (it is Canada after all) Just kidding, I need a good all season tire for my needs.

I'll check with my wholesalers to see if they can get them.

I just noticed your car has the sport interior! I am trying to find that interior for a car! Are your stock Festiva wheels white? I think thats what Packrat was refering to! I'd buy them if there white.

The wheels were white, but in very rough condition. I suppose they could have been repaired given enough budget and time, but I don't think they were worth saving. They went away on the donor car after I stripped it's wheels off.
