Its so beautiful. Miata is always the answer. 10/10 would drive.

Looks like a lot of added rotational and unsprung weight. Oh well, some people want looks over driving fun.

Very nice. Might I inquire on the head unit?

How? RPF1's are really really light. Bigger sidewall Azenis get the grip action on. I say he did it just right.

thats a great wheel and tire setup. 14's look really good what size tires and what di you pay for the wheels? Also how is your car lowered. I have a 1996 m edition I need to lower and put wheels on.

I like the amber lights. Nice.

Thanks! I think 14 is the "right" size for the NA. Tires are 195/60 and I got the wheels used for $550

No idea. It was done by a previous owner. I hate it.

Thanks, I just sprayed them today actually. Came out darker than I was hoping; might try to buff/wetsand them to see if I can lighten up the orange a bit

Sweet. The RPF1 look is growing on me - probably because the UPS man is bringing a set for my Mazda2 on Monday.

I love the wheel and parking brake handle. It's old school and classy.

Don't you EVER fuckng apoloize.

On a side note, do you take payment in testicles?

What is causing the 2 lb difference in stock miata wheel weights?

HideyoshiJP > Bytemite 05/17/2014 at 21:42

I didn't know which wheels were on it before... there is one potentially 9lb. wheel, however.Reference: http://www.miata.net/faq/wheel_weig…

This is a Miata I would drive... and I don't like Miatas.

Very nice sir!

how do you like the ride compared to stock?

Huge improvement. The NB tophats and FM bumpstops really help.

Nope, I've already got 2.

I have a '97 M Edition so my stock wheels were a whopping 14.5lbs

Also my Enkeis are the +19 offset so they weigh a few tenths more than the +28 due to a thicker hub. Still, a shit ton lighter than stock.

You never know when you'll need a spare!

Very good looking. I wish my NB looked that cool.

The only things I would change on the overall look...

paint the centers of the RPF1s bronze or gunmetal gray, but leave the rims as-is.

I would use these. (Jet Stream signal intakes)

Still a gorgeous car :)

What happened to the bronze wheels you had a while back?

I've just put them up for sale. I like these better. May paint them gold or bronze sometime in the future, though.

My vote goes down for bronze again colour-wise, although it's a stunning car regardless :)
