I finally did it three!

so, i'm not sure what to do for wheels...can't seem to find the right combo of wheel and tires...the search continues...
tomorrow:
get the msm back on the road
install the RB exhaust
new fogs lamps
swap my azenis to the RH rims
maybe time for a few other mods.....:cool:

I get the Enkei's Mark..you won't go wrong with them. A nice aggressive offset too so the spokes are concave. Looks good. Also for tires, I'd get the Dunlop Direzza Sport Star Spec Z1 tires, the ones I run and Oleg runs. Those things are just.. insane on grip in the wet and dry. They're amazing street tires that have identical dry grip to some R Comps. Very predictable and decently priced. I got a nice hook up for wheels btw too, so let me know if you want me to have him find out a price for ya. :D

What is the bolt pattern for the Miata, 4x100? If so, looks like there is a 16x8 option with a +38 mm offset. Just be warned it may be difficult to get some of the sizes. I have 16x8 +32 RPF1's on my RX-7 and it took over two months for me to get them in (were part of a shipment from Japan and apparently is not a popular size). Also, RPF1's don't get concve until 8.5"+ widths and they don't get "more/less concave" with offset and width. There's only two designs currently available.
 
lol nah. I told James the prices this guy was getting for me anyways and they were actually really good. Besides James doesn't make money on wheels...so essentially he was just helping us out in general. This guy is pretty good though. :D
 
ordered the rpf1 black wheels and tires last night....mounted balanced, rings and lug nuts, shipped to my door ready to mount...(2thumbs)
i have a pretty decent hook up as well, but it would have required extra$ to mount and balance...i think i did ok
