ATTN: DO / other wheel whores

[KPowerEP3]

I'm looking for suggestions for a nice, low offset wheel for my miata. 4x100.
Everyone does Watanabe's/Sportmax 002 on them, so I'd like something...else.

I really like the (god I'm going to get flamed for this) JMags, but I've heard too many mixed reviews of rota to want to go that way. Give me some ideas here, people. No bigger than a 16x7, I have the 17" wheels that were on there when I bought it, and they look like straight dookie on a miata.

[Dirty Octopus™]

hmm... lets see... :thinking:

lets get EJ25RUN and EBP_EM1 in here to help me out as well...

just to throw it out there ahead of time though i would NOT do JMAGs on that car. i think JMAGs only come in high offsets and with that RWD platform id take advantage of option to do low offset wheels. :yes:

whats the purpose of the vehicle?

just to floss. are you tracking it?

oh and do you have a spending limit? cuz if alls you want to do is look nice "I" see nothing wrong with getting some flattering knockoffs. at the end of the day a wheel is a wheel.

Oh!! for now... before i do any searching at home i can throw out...

just about any low offset Work wheel. (well at least from the Equip Series)

i like the Equip 01's and the 03's

Equip 01's

[Riceboy891]

I got some 15x7 drag dr20s for sale with a 10mm offset identical to the gold equip 03's posted above.

cant find any pics on a miata, but you get the idea.... As long as you have a suspension to pull it off you will be good

[d_day87]

i don't know what it is... but i like the low offset steelie look :goodjob:

[KPowerEP3]

I've seen those steelies on a miata and they look hot.

Spending limit is...eh...$800 or so, so nothing outrageous. The car is going to be a DD, but I'm moving to KY, so it'll see a LOT of mountain use. The suspension going on in it is ~1.5" lower than stock. I'd like to to a staggered offset, too.

[EJ_Allmota]

the steelies would be SEX!!

[Scotsman]

link to the steelies?

[.blank cd]

I'm picking up my new to me wheels tonight hopefully. Any suggestions on how to get 4 mounted 15" wheels/tires INTO a Miata for the ride home?

[Riceboy891]

Well get them in there somehow man. You need to borrow one of those little tire racks that all the autocross miatas have.lol

[KPowerEP3]

Nah, I'm getting those Drag Dr20's off of Riceboy. :D

Now I've got to get those green coilovers installed when they come.

[Dirty Octopus™]

Nah, I'm getting those Drag Dr20's off of Riceboy. :D

Now I've got to get those green coilovers installed when they come.gotcha! are they at least lower than +20 offset?

[KPowerEP3]

gotcha! are they at least lower than +20 offset?

+15 :crazy:

I'll still be picking up a set of the diamond racing steelies for winter though, since I'll be at school in NW KY.

[Riceboy891]

They are actually +10 and I want to see a pic when you get em mounted up.

[Sammich]

X2...AND WEBSITE

[Doppelgänger]

those diamond racing wheels on the civic look like sh!t lol.

See, the problem i have wit these idiots putting wide wheels with low offset on Miatas is that, in order to do this, you need to roll the fender and use 195/50-15 tires. And it always looks like sh!t. If you're going to install a set of wide wheel.. utilize the goddamn motherflucking width of the wheels and get some fat tires to go with them. Otherwise it just looks like a sh!tty mexiridermobile.

I, personally, like how they look on my car. Of course, I plan on getting some of the bolt on flares, anyway. BTW, I am running 195/50/15's.

I was going to get Diamond Racing two years ago for my CVCC and found out that you can't align these wheels. That's the ONLY reason I didn't get any. Later, QD.

I'll get some pics if I can ever get these freakin brakes fixed.

[MskunkM]

go look up maxxis (SP?) there by konig... but there CHEAP and they have quite a few in good offset and size.... just a recommendation....

we sell them @ my store and there not bad @ all especially for a D.D. car.

:thinking: you mean the the wheels can't be balanced?

Diamond racing wheels have the center bore stamped into them. You must balance the wheels using the lug nut holes, not the center bore like most shops do.

the steelies would be perfect to look different and have a good rim for tracking. Gives it that Nascar look.

[Thighs]

unless you have mad jdm tyte power, stagger is not a good idea. miatas dont like it.

[quickdodge®]

So you'd rather have the "look" of NASCAR and have to replace tires every other week? Not me. That's why I scrapped that idea. Later, QD.

haha....my intake only 1.8 is mad fast yo.

nah. I ended up picking a set of Drag DR20's. 15x7 et+10, Equip 03 knockoffs.

They look good, I just wish I could get my damn brakes fixed, fro serious.
