WTB 99 Miata 15in Wheels

Looking for a set of OEM or aftermarket 15 rims for a 99 miata. Tires would be nice but not required. Car sees street use and commuting mostly so with rising gas prices and such need something in comparison to the weight of the OEM 14's.

Email fixingcomputers@charter.net

Thanks
Joel

Re: Looks like I am going C-Stock, YEEHAA

I just put a deposite on a 99 Miata Sport so I am really excited. It is red which is not my favorite but I can live with it. Now all I have to do is sale my truck and I will buy some mod for it. It will a be final Tuesday. I see I will not have anything done to it before the March 7th event. First ...

Wow thanks for the responses guys, sorry I dropped off for a bit...been working a lot. I like that open faced helmet at helmet city. I don't know my size exactly so I need to stop into a local cycle shop and get fitted, then price something there, then get on the web and order. Thanks for all the ti...

Contact Ted Visscher at Appalaction race tire for some tires. He might have some. I would get a sway bar first. If it was me I would get the hollow bar from Racing Beat. I have the solid on and like it but I wish I got the hollow one. It is alot stronger. Good luck, What size 14in tire would I be a...

Stock miata's roll a lot. I do not think that your shocks are blown just worn out. But they do roll alot from the factory. You would think that they would put a stiffer shocks on them. Really though shocks won't really do a whole lot for roll, a strut tower bar or front sway would help, all within ...

I would get Koni's if I was going to get shocks. I am sure you can get a set for $475 shipped. Trust me on this. I bought some springs that were alot cheaper than coil overs and I just wasted $200 because shortly after I went and bought the good stuff. If you can't buy the shocks. You might want to...

If your shocks aren't blown then I would go with tires before shocks. The tires are the biggest improvement you can make. If the shocks are blown then get the shocks and get some Falkens. If you aren't driving the car daily, the Falkens should last all season long and still give very good grip. If ...

Well I ran 225/50/14 on the stock rims last year but I would probably go down to a 205 next time. By the way Joel I corded two of my tires, I found a course that the surface made William Blount look like new pavement. So they are no longer for sale. But IMHO I would get tires and wheels before shoc...

A delima.....or a pickle.....

Not really just trying to decide what to get done before the next season starts. I managed to go through my first season and not mod a thing, just try to be a better driver, I think I improved greatly from the start. Needless to say however in order to be competitive in CS I need a few mods to make ...

I have to admire the thought of doing something like this but it looks like it will have monster torque steer and possibly be a CV joint killer. Look at how short the axle is on the driver side. :shock: I think I would try the 1.8T instead. Some models weren't drive by wire, Audis, I think. They al...
