    Yes, it is. I didn't include it for a few reasons:
    1. Space is limited. I want to avoid a chart that one has to scroll left and right to see all the fields.
    2. Availability. I couldn't find weight on any of the rims, with the exception of what was provided by Top Fuel.
    3. Focus. When I set out on this venture, including weight just wasn't on my radar. I was more interested in the range of vehicles and the various alloy rims available that should fit the Mirage.

    That being said - if you happen to know the weight of any particular rim, please submit the info with a link and I'll try to get it included. Same with any model vehicles that anyone wants to see included - just be sure to include a link for reference.

    Now that I have looked at your chart, I'm thinking that adding another column might be too much. And the reality is we will probably never know the weight of most of those wheels...so 90% of the weight column will be blank anyway. It's probably more important to note the few wheels that are unusually light for their size (like the Mini Imola). The chart is very cool!

    Is there a way to calibrate the speedometer after changing wheel size?

    Yes, I understand this is possible through ETACS.

    A question in regards to center bore size - the Mirage shows 56.1mm. I assume getting a wheel with a center bore smaller than that would not work. But a wheel with a larger bore size, do you have to get an adapter ring or something?

    Is better to get the hub ring adapter. They are cheap anyway.

    That's correct.


    ...a wheel with a larger bore size, do you have to get an adapter ring or something?
    They are usually called hub rings or centering rings. You don't have to use them...but they make installing the wheels a lot easier. When you put the wheel on the hub, the wheel studs will be centered in the holes and it makes it easier to thread the lugnuts on. If you buy wheels from a place like the Tire Rack, they'll include them with your purchase.

    Believe it or not, one of the best (and cheapest) places to get hub rings is eBay.

    Here are the hub rings I use on my aftermarket wheels. These are aluminum and cost $15 on eBay...

    I understand the rings are not needed.

    Added a rim dimension chart to post #6 for the various makes & models listed in this thread. It's a work in progress.
