    Default 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.

    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.

    ^^^ I was going to post those wires, but I thought they would be too soft for Echo.

    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.

    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...)

    Hmmmm... My old Weds just popped back up for sale on 240atl.

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