View Full Version : Misc Best wheels... Period.

This winter I have decided I will be putting the last set of wheels I ever buy for the Miata on.

4x100

I would prefer 15x8 and around +25ish offset

But really with adapters and spacers these days, nothing is out of bounds.

So what is the best wheel? Price is irrelevant. I just want what you consider the best price/looking/weight/manufactured wheel around.


















Can't fit anything bigger than a 16", nothing smaller than a 13".


Go.

You couldn't go smaller than 13" anyway.........hmmmmmm..............that sounds bad, but ask me how I know.

Personally, I'd take it back to the old days and shove some 15" Prime 5 star wheels on 195/50-15s and ride all day.

949 racing 6ul?Those seem to be the wheel of choice for Miatas. And that's probably for a good reason.

Those wheels don't belong on anything other than a late 80s isuzu mini truck.

Careful....your age and lack of old school reality is showing, sir.

Those wheels, Echo, are also the shit, man.

Careful....your age and lack of old school reality is showing, sir.

Those wheels, Echo, are also the shit, man.The -64 offset killed it for me. I was gonna do flares, but couldn't bring myself to cut perfectly good rust-free fenders.

But yeah... Tried these 13" rims I got from Rutledge too... These were only -30ish offset.

Yeah, they didn't fit either without flares... So I sold both sets.

sell me your blades for the low.

QD...you are my hero. Prime 5 stars. Yes.Define "low". They just could be yours...

Seriously... I'm thinking about some Rota RKR's. Mostly because I don't want to spend more on wheels than the car is worth. But for the right set I guess I could.

Loved the Wantanbes I had on my 240, but since I will never see serious track time don't wanna pay Wantanbe prices for the Miata... Weird, I know.

0 offset Diamond Racing wheels, fit just fine... Way too heavy.

(pics are before rolling fenders so I could fit them properly...)

But a staggered set-up never works good on a Miata, well not at my power level.
