Anyone else think 16's look BIG on a miata?

K1's are pimp. I have a set of gray 15x7's.

Since when are 949 valve's baller? What does my 8x 949 valves on 15x9 6UL's make me then? A Mega-Baller™ ?

Do you actually use the extra 4 valve stems for there intended purpose? if so does it really make that big of a difference or is it just hype on the street?

Also miatamania, if you want to send me a PM with more info on the C8's I'd appreciate it.

miatamania 07-17-2008 10:59 PM

super baller.

A friend of mine made the joke that since my car is a piece of shit, $4 valve stems qualify as baller status....

Kinda like making fun of $500 cars w/ $10,000 wheels.

I have a set of K1's in 15" myself. I love the way they look.

Those wheels look badass man.

Congrats.

I actually like the 16 in wheel. Looks good.

Zabac 07-18-2008 01:38 AM

I have 16x7's, I like the look, not too big if you have small height tires ie. 40's.

Oh yeah, the K1's are nice, I bet you got them for a steal knowing you....

y8s 07-18-2008 09:53 AM

so the c8s will go on to their fourth owner. awesome. you guys are so green!

Zabac 07-18-2008 09:57 AM

I assume the C8s are the ones he bought from Ben???
If so, those wheel will reel in some serious bank one day, they got history here.

y8s 07-18-2008 10:06 AM

not ben. not the c8s. he got those from me. I got them from craigslist in northern california. they've traveled a long way. in a moving pod box though.

here they are in their first of many colors:

Omg HIA!

Braineack 07-18-2008 11:29 AM

Looks great man! I've always been a big fan of K1s. I have a brand new set of 15x7 +33 K1s waiting to on my Miata. Hmm come to think of it I have a set of them for our S13 and the G20 also. I guess I'm a Kosei addict lol :D
