The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

13.1lbs. I wouldn't say they are easy to come by or plentiful. I had a set when I first switched to R-comps, but I don't remember how long I looked for them. I remember it being a while and I probably paid too much for them.

You can get more info about Miata wheels here: http://www.miata.net/faq/wheel_weights.html
The other 15x6 options are heavier, and even harder to come by (aka more expensive).

 

[princess peach]

ya, they're 17s.

That's what I thought. Do you know the weight and offset? How hard are they to come by? My ultimate plan would be some lightweight 15x6 wheels with an effective offset of +40 mm paired with 205/50R15 Hoosier A6's. If I do get into this I'll probably stick with the stock wheels and tires and not be competitive for a while just to get the hang of things.


I'm pretty sure those are 17" right? Stock class required wheels have to be the same diameter and width as stock and be within 1/4" offset.

set of miata wheels, 14x5.5, around 12lbs, and like a 45 offset, $50 a wheel

They don't fit the criteria of 15x6 ET40-50. The daisies aren't desirable and therefore plentiful and cheap. $50 a wheel is expensive for those.

Just checked, Enkei supposedly makes the RPF1 in 15x7 +41 that weights <10 lbs. Damn...

Moar Enkei's, Jon!? haha

Couldn't find the Cincy thread for some reason, so I'm posting this here.

The wife and I are taking a day trip to Cincy/Newport this Friday. Where's a good, local place to get lunch? I've only been to Cincy once so I'm not sure where to go in the area.

SkyLine Chili?

I also had a set of the 99-02 sport wheels once upon a time

They also don't fit the front of the 2. They won't clear the brakes. You can bolt them up and roll in the driveway but there is definite contact with the caliper bracket lol.

They make the brakes look huge!

Too bad they're 15x7. If they made a 15x6 they'd weight like <8 lbs!

Jon I have nb Miata. wheels the wheel has 15x6jj. 40 stamped in them if that helps you.

 

[WillD]

Spacers. Could probably get away with 5mm or so.

The RPF1s are notorious for not clearing brakes. It's why Enkei made the PF01s from what I've read (which by the way also come in 15x7 at only 12.1lbs).
