Yes it came with some screws, I just held it up there and had my body hold on tight while I screwed them in with my electric drill. Turned out great.
Update, car runs amazing! Idles like a champ and runs to 7k rpms with no bogging. I have never driven a turbo miata before, but I am proud to be driving one
You guys bring so much research and advice here that it takes most of the hassle from building a car or doing tuning. I am not finished yet but I am one satisfied gay right now. I haven't had this big of a smile on my face in such a long long time!

Depends on how much you drive and how much you want to spend on tires yearly. For a DD I would recommend going with a 15x8 wheel with a 205/50/15 tire. The two best wheel choices at that size are the konig flatouts and the 6ULs. Of course if you don't mind DD'ing a tire with a 140 tread wear rating you can always go 6UL 15x9 and run 225/45/15 for maximum grip.

My buddy is, but his father in law just likes the looks of the NB wheel, not the same tire though.
I like TRM wheels or the 6uls, I might aswell spend the money and get the 6uls because those are what I want. 15x8 with 205/50/15, now debating on the tire size!

Thanks! I will be doing some ducting here soon, temps are fine but it wouldn't hurt anything.
I wont be bothering you the day you get back, but for sure the week/weekend after I will have to come by again so we can play around. I will be in Iowa the 2nd-9th so i'd like to tune before then.
