i'd be interested in your rpf1s for my miata if you're selling... tires can stay with you
No issues on the backside for sure. I also don't think any issues on the fender side either (I know there are pics of the 8" mounted on this board somewhere). I ran the 15x9 w/H&R springs and it did not clear the strut and stuck out from the fender in the front, but that's an added .5" on each side (the offset is the same for 8 or 9, +36). Rears will for sure be fine, I did nothing (except rolled the fenders) in the rear for x9. Tires were 225/45/15.Hey Guys! Should I have any rubbing issues running 15x8 6UL's with a inch drop in ride height coming from Bilstein coil-overs?
I'm planning on running either 195/50/15 or 205/50/15 tires.
Also, are the Bilsteins skinnier than the stock struts? Hopefully the Bilsteins will give me more clearance.
Hey I think I found a good deal on some rims, will anyone give me their opinion of these wheels and let me know if they will fit? I've seen that a few people have 17 inch rims on their M2's, these are 17s and I just want to make sure they'll fit before I go buy them.

I admit, I have a wheel fetish. Driving wheels, steering wheels, all kinds of wheels. I have old water valves as kitchen cabinet knobs. Anyway, I found a deal on some shoes and got up early Saturday morning (I mean early) and drove to Brooklyn, Gotham City to pick up these babies. Then I drove back and to the shop and swapped out the winter steelies and installed my Summer Wheels (black ones you see on the back axle). I also dry fitted the new ones on the front to see how they look.
Did I need more wheels, NO!
What am I going to do with these, I don't know yet!
What are these? They are early Spec Miata wheels a bit over 13 lbs. each, called Team Dynamics Racing, the newer ones are called Team Dynamics Motorsports and they are on my car. The offset is 30 and they are no longer available. Goodwin Racing has 2 or so left. They are called 1.0
The new Spec Miata wheels are the same as the B-Spec wheels and run a 25 mm offset meaning that one can run 30 offset plus 5 mm spacer. The originals had the basket protruding and wheel to wheel contact would often result in wheel damage, so on the 1.2 and 1.3 the basket was installed further inboard.
OK, so I told you more than you wanted to ever know about these wheels, but if you ever watch BTCC racing, those are the wheels most of those racers run in sizes from 15-17 inches. These are 15x7. And I got them for 250 bucks, never used, with lug-nuts, keyed, rotating collar.
Hope you liked this.

paint them gloss black ..actually id stay with the kosie's they are sweet looking wheels,but id run 205/50x15's ..
im looking for the same or similar wheels for my M2
I saw these wheels on tirerack and I kind of like them, just wondering what everybody else thinks. I usually don't like flashy stuff on cars, but these are kinda neat. Also, how much do you think I could sell my factory aluminum wheels for?
