  • Panasport wheels

    Does anybody know of a Festiva picture with panasport wheels on it?

    Somewhere, someone has the Motor Trend magazine article (Aug 1988) on the Festiva. They put Panasports on.

      If you're talking about the Panasport "Minilite style" wheels, Mattswab has a set of older Miata alloys in much the same style (only they're seven spoke instead of eight spoke).

            I think this is the Panasport site:



            Konig is coming out with some copies called the "Rewind," but they seem to be in only 15 X 7" sizes:



            I think the main "economically viable" choice here are the early Miata "Minilite style" seven spokers in the 14 X 5.5" size.

            Now if we could just get some 185/50-14 tires to go with them.

              where can u buy?

              panasport.com has the eight spoke wheels for $205 each. Off set is 35 mm instead of 38 mm, they stick out an 1/8 of an inch further. Shipping for me was $45 dollars, but I live in Southern California and Panasport is in L.A.. Oh one other thing, they are shipped from China.
              I was gonna go over and write a check for these wheels, but I bought a Focus instead......Oh well it's still a Ford. Is the Focus a third generation Fesitva?
              Thanks for replying to my post you helped greatly.

                The Focus is the evolution of the Escort and is now Ford's smallest car in the NA market
                The Aspire is the evolution of the Festiva. Sadly, Ford abandonned sub-compacts in North America
