Is Phen planning on doing a 5 lug conversion on his miata? 0.o
Yeah, I was just going to say that. Not happening.
no, i don't. i'll have to try to get one this weekend. i got my wheels in the mail today, its dark, so the pics suck, i'll get better ones tomorrow.
I've always loved slipstreams and how light they are when you look at the size of them i think a 17 with tire weighs about the same as as stock 01-06 elantra alloy without tire
17 x 8.5's weigh 21.1 lb

Wow thats pretty heavy my Rota 18x8 P1's are 18lbs.
If I buy a lightweight wheel, it should be less than 20lbs... My MP3 RH's are heavy as balls, and I think they are somewhere around 25lbs ea. I think they are almost identical to the MSP RH's... I could search for a thread to find the exact weight of those.
*Edit, MSP wheels weigh in @ 21lbs.

I don't think I would willingly go buy a set of wheels that are more than 16 lbs for a 17". But... you can usually tell what type of tuner is by a) the weight of the wheels they really want, b) their reaction at the weight of their own wheels, and c) tire size / selection.
I would like to pick up some FD's at some point. I think Fish just posted his up fs but I don't have the cash right now... (sad2)
Maybe I can get Sean to sell me his b4 he sells his MSP, lol.

What is the deal with the FD rims? They are lightweight but they don't look good on a BJ at all.
They weigh in @ ~14lbs ea. That's the deal, lol.
And many ppl would disagree with you. I think they look fine on a BJ that is stanced properly.
*Edit: They look pretty good to me.

I just facepalmed myself... I thought you were talking about wanting FD's back when you were talking about wheels? Stoopid 4 lug Miatas.
Yeah, you've gotta absolutely HATE having a nearly unlimited selection of wheels to choose from
(screwy)
