I'd go to the junkyard www.car-parts.com most guarantee a good part or Mazdapartszone on the forum has discounted new parts. My redtop was $125 local.

hotness. Smaller wheels / tires = better gearing and less weight though
Yea I know but I had the wheels first and then started autoxing. Im not nearly competitive anyways thanks to my stock suspension and since I don't plan on keeping the car that much longer don't want to start dumping money into a build although it gets more and more tempting every time I get on course.
haha yeah that's what I figured. If you're stock still, it may not be a bad idea to pick up a set of stockers for peanuts and throw a set of solid street tires on them to start learning on (hankooks z212, potenza re01r, azenis, etc) and use them as your 'race' tires.
And the temptation only grows. See: fully prepped STS2 miata lol

I'm stuck in STS cause I replaced my front seats and have a "shorty" header. I thought about using my stock rims for a while but they have my winter allseasons already on em so it didn't make sense to buy 2 sets of tires. I had been running BFG's for a good while, 3 years and ~1.5 seasons but just got a new set of Dunlop star specs and damn what a difference just have to keep em cool.
Threw a layer of RAAMmat into the hatch area (on top of 2 layers of Dynamat) and then a layer of Ensolite over that. Started my custom amp rack. No pics yet. Maybe some tomorrow.
Sure is!
Sure is!
ah nice, I've heard nothing but good things abt the star specs. Sounds like they're similar to the RE-01R, only problem is they only make a srsly retarded 15" size (195/55 or something dumb like that). Now get on the suspension and you'll be set

cut one of the pipes of my intake so that I could try to run the pipe I bought down behind the fog. Too much of a hassle without a buddy in the end and it took way too long to cut this pipe by hand. I ended up with a shorter intake and a newly installed Weapon R Coolant Catch Can. No leaks so far :::crosses fingers::: Pictures tomorrow, I'm about to pass the hell out.
What wheel / tire combo will you be runnin'? Did you use the roller tool or a DIY method? ...
Yup....Used this roller right here..
Came out pretty decent for never doing it before.
I am running RX8 Wheels BTW.
Same one I used.
Turns out the rubbing I was encountering was the tire just barely kissing the inside of the inner fender with the combo I am running now. (Which I only encountered with 4 of us in the car ... coming back with a full load from Costco lol). I've got front OEM P5 bump stops in the rear - which works great on the MSP, but you need about another 1/4" of bump stop on the P5 due to the more narrow rear fender wells. I had RX8 wheels - will you be running a 5mm spacer in the rear? 215/35 or 40/ 18's?
Wow, that's one hot mess...I would seriously look into something like that if i could find a brake setup that would fill in the rest of the look nicely.
