Okay so I'm currently and currently HAVE been looking for wheels, but nothing has appealed to me yet.

I'm looking for wheels around this area:

16x10
offset +10 at the most, but most definitely anything lower would be good.

lmk.

Oh and Kevin what were you sayin?

Oh that was a typo. I meant the adaptors will convert my 4x100 to any wheel's PCD I find correct?

adapt something from another car that is aggressive. nobody has done it on miatas that i know. VW people do it all the time. they adapt porsche, chevy, bmw, honda/japanese PCD wheels and i have seen a few subies on vette saw blades and seandub has the slammed M3 on saw blades. that accord on saw blades keeps poppin up too.
this guy is on chevy berretta wheels

not saying these wheels would look good on a miata but you could get super original wheels nobody has or not too much then get adapters from adaptecspeedware.com. they can custom make stuff


not saying vette wheels on a miata...but im sure there is something that would suit your car and make people think/ scratch their head

there will always be somebody with a cooler car than you...just dont park next to that person

so pretty much if it has center caps that cover the holes you can get em drilled and filled, or if you dont have the option of redrilling you could use adapters. it seems like sick wheels always are in the wrong pcd for my car so its nice to have options. but yeah rotiform can redrill and refinsh wheels and adaptecspeedware can custom make adapters

BBS RS'. I still want to see a set on an NA be pulled off correctly. The beauty of three piece wheels is that you can make them wide as your heart desires.
You could widen these to 10 -5 with big ass lips. You'd have to get them redrilled, though. Then you can refinish them with any center/bolt/centercap color you want.

I've always wanted to do them on my Miata, and I have the perfect plan for them.

But tbh I don't want to jump on the bandwagon of BBS RS' that most of the import scene has done.

RM's. The guy who bought Dylan's old miata has a set of ridiculous RS' on it but it looks haggard and his fenders are pulled all nasty.

So I was at work, and I was thinking about my wheel specs.

Up in the air:
1) 16x9 front / 16x10 rear 0-10 +/- offset
2) 16x9.5 front / 16x11 rear 0-20 +/- offset depending..
3) 15x10 front / 15x11 rear 0 offset

Still debating.

And if I want 16's of these..

If you want to go custom, check out Image Wheels. They're based in the UK and have a lot of cool designs that look awesome in small diameters. Pretty positive I haven't seen a single set on a miata, ever.

I like these


and these


and these


anyway, you get the idea. fully custom, tons of designs. billet or cast, 2 piece or 3, etc, etc.

damn those are some aggressive sizes, so right now fill me in on some knowledge ( i am clueless on miatas). so are you getting flares or pulling the shit out of your stock fenders? ive seen some pretty aggressive stance's in the miata realm but poke can only look soo good before it becomes mexi-flush.

The reason I mentioned gotti is because they are pretty easy to find on ebay/craigslist and other websites for cheap! Also they are aggressive and unique..

Also, try searching for Etoile seeing they are very similar or the same? Most of the fitments I see are for chevy, porsche and ferrari.

There's no need for flares.

Anything can be done, just wait and see. You have to believe in the heart of the cards.

definitely agree with you guys, i was just curious since i dont have a lot of knowledge on miaters. lol. im all for building cars around wheels, but im not going to get wheels so aggressive that i have to rock stupid amounts of camber to make them fit. (IMO) i guess im more so directing that to those "hellaflushillestroofrackrustedsignmyhood" hondas that wish they were RWD with the fitment they are trying to achieve.

can't wait to see what you end up with! keep us posted.
