NL is the new abbreviation now that our province is officially Newfoundland and Labrador.

Would these be better? I'm not sure of the weight. What do people think of the price (and I wonder if I could sell what I have to finance)...

Thanks Chiefmg. I agree, not having a reference point, I probably wouldn't notice. My current daily driver is a 2007 Corolla (5 speed) and a 2003 Kia Sedona. Coming from these vehicles will probably make me really like the Miata, even if it does have big heavy wheels. I will probably swap to...

So, having never driven my Miata or ANY Miata for that matter (I'm a virgin) the excess rotational and unsprung weight is going to make the car handle and feel worse? Would a newb like me even notice? I am pretty particular so I probably would. But damn, those ASA's look sweet. Form over...

Thanks. Ya I read about the effect unsprung weight has on the car. I wouldn't have bought such heavy wheels but I do have these if the ASA's really bother me from a handling perspective. I did check the car over really well and know what's been done maintenance wise. The guy I bought it from...

But look at the weight! Some might call me a fool but I bought this car without even driving it. The guy I bought it from has owned it the past 6 years and is a local radio personality. His daily driver is a Range Rover. He sold the Miata to make room for a Porsche. Rough life. Quick poll: am...

I brought my wife and kids to where I have the car stored. Here is a clip of the unveiling. The guy hauling the cover off is the man I bought the car from. http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i463/thecarstalker/zoom%20zoom/2472c0f7.mp4

Thanks, yep they're ASA's. I admit they look sharp. I only bought the car last week and can't take credit for any of the mods. Got drilled rotors, sport shocks, strut brace, K&N CAI, new battery, new roof 2 years ago, new tires, new plugs and wires, synthetic oil, 2 tonneau covers (one of which...

Ya, they are 17's but I have the factory 15's too, perfect shape. Nice to have the option of switching back.

New to this forum I just joined today. Here's my car.
