I have been thinking a lot recently about how much I want to go as fast 
in the Miata as I can in the Syclone, because I'm tired of 
Skoal-drooling rednecks in clapped-out pickup trucks getting the best 
of me! This has led to a fantasy of a triple-black Monster Miata with 
chrome sidepipes (has to be a V8 because sidepipes w/a 4-cyl=no point) 
and Cragar SS wheels.
Well, that's obviously way in the future, after graduation and the 
procurement of a real job, but hopefully sometime before the world's 
reserves of fossil fuels run out.
Anyway, one of my wheels is suspiciously wonky, and I thought I might 
start on my next Miata by ordering 15X7 Cragar SS's for my current 
Miata.  The only trouble is, by design, they have 5 bolt holes instead 
of 4. My husband suggests an adapter kit.
     
Have any of you done this? I think it would be so cool. (If I get my 
dream, I think the plate will either be "68 MX-5" (complete with 
raised-white-letter tires) or "COBRA"!
     
Maybe I should just go out and get that 68 Red/White Camaro SS???
