Thanks in advance!

OK So its not rims, but wheels. Thanks for the clarification. Anyone knows? They look great.

Hey asshat this is a classy kinda place, those are called wheels, not rims.

Hey, Wesley. Welcome to the forum. I see that you have already received the standard new-user indoctrination. :D

Forget da RAMS where is the exhaust?

In my country, we call those rims. Where we live must not be classy enough for you.

Oregon seceded?

:(

< from Oregon.

Im from Indonesia, but now I am an international student in the US. Looking to buy a used NA miata here, I heard they are tons of fun for low $$.

Hey you misunderstood me! Its nice in Oregon I like it so much. Portland international raceway seems like something I need to check out!

No, only dumb and ignorant people (also known as "hoodrats" in America) call wheels "rims".

...and if you learned something new from looking at that picture, well....at least you can read. There is no hope for you.

Here's a fun thing to do: Walk into a bicycle shop and ask for a new rim. You will get something that looks like this:

If you want, they can also sell you spokes and a hub, and assemble them all into a complete wheel.

Same rule applies here.


Don't try to fight it. You're in a forum filled with lots and lots of solid technical info, which happens to be populated with pedantic grammar-nazis who enjoy hazing the new folks. Just give in, take your ass-pounding like a man, and conform. We'll use lube, we promise. :D

Well... Joe might use lube... that promise only carries as far as his voice... :party:

Original post edited. Nobody knows what WHEELS are these?

The kind with 8 spokes. you can thank me later.

I'm guess'in dem rims be dis

Konig Flatout - They look similar to the silver "wheels" I have here in the dining room. FYI since you're new you might not shit right for a week.

they look more like Rota Circuit 8 RAMZ.

just a warning: try to avoid buying cheap rimmers.

but the op's wheels also resemble Drag DR-9

They are some imitation of Volk CE28N wheels.

You sure whoever you heard it from was talking about miatas? I heard that about a few forum members' moms as well.

Is it like that in the US? That is something new for me.

In boedhiman's defense, your joke would make more sense with an apostraphe after 'members'.

:giggle: members :giggle:

OP- go to good-win-racing.com and look at their wheel selection.

I did find it interesting that my Konig Flatouts have the Rays, forged, and monoblock stuff still cast in them. Part of me doubts their forged.

Finally some real answers. Thanks so much!

Yes. Miatas are a ton of fun and cost very little in the USA. In fact many people try to sell them for high prices, but a good condition used Miata can be bought for around $3000 USD.

Your English is good. We can help you pick a car if you're serious about buying one. BUT we will only help if you stop hanging around the kids that told you to call wheels rims. :)

I managed to secure a 4k deal for this guy. Go for it or not?

FS: CLEAN1990 Mazda Miata 4700 OBO I know the hardtop is worth a decent amount of money.

Edit: Thanks my parents went to school in the US too and I went to an international school since I was a kid. Although English is still my second language I can speak it fluently.

$4.7k for that? :rofl:

I managed to negotiate 4k, is it still too expensive?

Things are worth what someone will pay for it. I got a good deal on my '97 M edition w/ small dents and scratches, needed a heater hose set, a radiator, and shortly needed a clutch 6months later. Half case of flat black later it's still not pretty, but has worked fine short of some oil consumption lately. Had it for 4yrs+. You really don't want to know what I payed.

how much did you pay? 3 digit number?

any amount of $$$ is too much for a 90-93.

:brain:


the one you posted should be sold for closer to 1500-2000.

On the plus side, after you buy it you can yank out the Raceland coilovers and sell them to This Guy.

I can't believe it's up for debate... those are flatouts lol. if you counted the spokes to begin with you could rule out the other suggestions right off the bat. not to mention flatouts are a really popular cheap wheel that are comparable to most common miata track wheel sizes

OP for 4k if you don't get something that at least has a 1.8 then I will be disappointed. For 4k, you should be able to get something that is immaculate and has a torsen. That is neither, run far far away.

Fucking R I C E .

Not a deal at all.

Other than the fact that it's too low, it looks relatively unmolested. I'd offer just under $4k, and go from there.

If I were to buy wheels that looked like that, I'd have to go with Konig Heliums, which they look just like.

And you can pick up Heliums used with tires on them for cheap most of the time on craigslist and stuff. I've seen a few sets in the last few months.

Don't buy a '89-'93 Miata because they have smaller engines, smaller brakes, and a rear differential that is weak and will break easily. The '94 and newer cars are more desirable for these reasons. You can buy the earlier cars if you are willing to spend the money and do the work to change things to the larger components.

Thank you all for the very useful information. Now i am a proud bone stock clean 94 m edition owner. Exterior and seats are not perfect but it is mechanically well maintained and smooth. Everything runs smooth but the previous owner for whatever reason took the cat off. Is that a good idea?

Got it for 2.8k too. (Good deal ya?) Will post some pics...

I wouldn't drive one with a cat on it.
