Had those same rims been available in 16", I *may* have gone with them. But I like the look of 17" wheels on the Miata. Plus mine makes enough power to turn them quick enough: 178 RWHP on a Dynojet. In a car as light as a Miata, 178 horses to the wheels is fairly quick. I haven't ran it at the drag strip yet, but the car feels just a tad faster than my MSP with the Injen CAI, Spool hardpipes with GRedddy Type-S BOV, Apex 2.5" catted downpipe, and TurboXS MBC set at 10 or 11 psi, which ran a 14.6 @ 98mph at Englishtown Raceway Park. Plus the suspension is upgraded from a regular Miata, and was designed with the heavy stock 17" wheels in consideration.
I don't regret my choice to go with larger, heavier wheels for a little more style

Yeah I know...some people just don't like black rims. Obviously, I'm not one of them (hah)
About my MSP...I rolled it 4 or 5 times down the Parkway into a tree.

LOL I *hated* the stockers. Well I liked the wheels, but they just never looked 'right' to me on a Miata.

It's all in the thread in that link...basically someone changed lanes into me and hit my rear passenger side quarter panel, which sent me sideways.
