Wheel bolts on a Mazda MX-5 NA (1989–1997) ensure that the rims are securely fastened to the wheel hubs. They must be able to withstand the forces generated during acceleration, braking, and steering. This fastening system forms the final link between the wheel and the car and works in conjunction with the MX5’s wheel hubs and bearings, which absorb the forces transmitted from the road surface.
