Thinking about putting the rota PDC 16 x 8's gold on my 2004 MS MX 5 velocity red...anyone have any ideas of different wheels that roll better?

I have to lower it soon. I bought Carbon fiber wheel flares so I gotta do some choppin'. then I'll see how low I can go

it must be the angle I took it at. it's bone stock height with 205/45 16's.
now this looks like an off roader with 18's wrapped around!

I'm not a big fan of knock offs (ie Rota, Sport Max, etc). The only problem with the MSM is finding wheels in the 4x100 bolt pattern with widths wider than 7.5 or 8"

that is one great picture. it almost looks like a poster by Mazda. Great shot!

16s on a m1 just look too big...and 16 lbs are going to goof up you suspension and the way the car feels...sorry...i have been there when i got the first one many moons ago...enkei rpf1s in the right offset are a better choice to me...sorry i disagree...especially since you already bought them...
