    I'm actually about to purchase another set of wheels & tires for my drift competitions. The ones you see are my daily drivers. The suspension is pretty good but I'd like to get a full Tein setup and maybe some stiffer sway bars from Flyin' Miata.

    Thanks for the props tho.

    Your funny keke .. You shifted like 3 times & all I shifted was 3rd to 4th. I still had 5th & what !! Even though you had really short gears you were pulling slowly but everytime you shifted I would inch up a little faster

    Are the wheels flat black, or just dirty?
