New rims and tires
 
Alrighty i thought about it and im selling my 17's because ive heard all the talk there heavy ect...so now im getting the 16" ADR Concept Pro's, with the rt-615 falken azines tire. My buddys getting them for me at his cost so very cheap. Im wondering if anyone ever seen these on a miata before? Do they look good, or about the tire, weight im not a rim tire guy so i really dont know that much about them, any advice would help. Thanks

I also am not finding anything on ADR concpets the closest i can find from the pic you give are the fuels. I bet they weigh at least 18 lbs apeice. :dunno:

Stop wasting your money with ADR

As for the tires there ok, it depends on what you will be using them for.

btw i dont believe subydude even sells anything other than rota's, he is a good guy and sells mostly to suby and honda owners.

ahh ya i dont know about the name lol, i thought they were light weights, i want a nice rim that looks good, but is also light, any ideas? And these ones are sitting there in the warehouse for a while now, so thats why im getting them dirt cheap

Why not get some 6uls i think for the money they are great. If you want the lightest wheel for the $ get some RPF1's like me or buy my RPF1's so i can get some 6UL's :p

I hate to say this, but why not pick up a set of kosei's... my 16x7s were like.. 200 bucks used w/ tires.

I'd say they are pretty damn good...they don't last long but they stick well until they get hot...then they still stick well...just get the 'greasy' feeling everyone whines about...and they do OK in the rain...

but its a miata = sports car = deserves a good, sticky tire

10k is not lasting long?

Ive done 3 track days on mine as well as 3k miles daily driving and there is plenty of meat left. I just wish i would have gone with something more aggressive. But then again my car is daily driven so i cant really get myself to buy a nice set of Nt01's or anything since they will die fast :(

those are subzero's.... if you want cheap and light, sportmax wheels are pretty light... and cheap for their price... so are rota's if u find the right place

good tire choice, RS2 or MX would also have been accetoable.
