New wheels..

[k-lea]

Harhar, got you there.

Well, if you haven't heard I recently got into a wreck. All 4 wheels are bent and I'm looking at some new wheels to put on the K-Speed. Any suggestions? I'm open to wheel ideas.

I fell inlove with these guys, but I think the main thing that is going to throw me off are the sizes. I've been advised to try doing a 17 x 17.5 front and 17 x 8/8.5 in the back. I do want to end up doing this because of the "bulldog stance" miata's have if you look from the rear. (anyone else notice this?) I think the 8 or 8.5 will look nice on the back. Also, the 4x100 is going to screw me up too.

Ok, ideas, kgo.

they are pretty sexy!

Well, yea they are. But if it's not the bolt pattern, it's the offset. That's how this seems to be going for me. It's one or the other that keeps me from getting them. I may just have to back down and deal with one instead of changing up the rears.

That looks like a wheel that would look good on a european car. I can't really describe why, but I don't think I've ever seen that style wheel on an import that I have liked.

Miatas + Spokes = sex

get some spinnaz!!!

Damn that wheel would look awesome. Good luck with the search!

Those will definately look good on the MSM!

i like these. they're off natey's car. panasports, i believe, judging by the file name.

Man I wish there were roads like that around here.

The panas are classic but I don't like the wheels in the first post. There are too many spokes for me and they will be a pain in the ass to clean.

Meh. I don't mind about cleaning issues. The RH's giving me a hell of a time as is, I don't mind going a little bit further if I feel I have wheels worth cleaning.

Btw, if Jersey ever chimes in, iirc his MSM wheels have a lot of spoke and they look like pure sexage. Most Miata's that I've seen with a more "spokey" wheel pull it off really well.

The Pana's are classic, and totally not what I'm looking for. Pana's are good for the NA's and later NB's and beater wheels, but the MSM needs some hotness.

i think jersey has ASA AR1's. those are nice and pretty inexpensive.

SPOKES! (don't mind the crazy decal work. The "painter" that did that has since been fired...

Anyway, I really like how these look on the car .

 

[k-lea]

I think the same. I'd love to snatch something with a polished lip but if anything gets messed up its my wheels. (obviously) I don't even know why I want to replace them with something pricey or somewhat pricey when I know I'll just be hitting more curbs and other road debris to eph them up.






...HRM.

Haha, good!

lol, Andrew. I never noticed the "Muff". That's awsome. I'm glad my influence stuck

Work VS-XX's would look very nice on your MSM

Also the Work VS-TX in Gunmetal is sex also......i almost bought these for my speed.

Is that actual blue? Or just some tapage kind of thing to keep them from getting scratched?

If it's actual blue, negative. Throws off my ti and red theme.
