Thanks for posting those pics. Good to see how much pad there is at the center.

Some Enkei designs don't scale perfectly attractively down into 15-in. sizes. The RPF1 always looked a little goofy in 15, and the NT03+M isn't right in sizes smaller than 17. But then I don't think 15x7 TE37s look as good as the larger sizes, either.

So they are .4lbs heavier than a 6UL, cost $260 more a set, look almost the same minus a tuning fork. Am I missing something? Why are these so cool, I know because a Miata vendor didn't take his time to make them.

^ agreed. The thing that also gets me are the spokes protrude out pass the rim/face where in larger sizes, they look flushed/concaved toward the center.

Side note, just received my set of bronze 949 wheels.

For some reason, they aren't listing it for the Miata. I think the link above is for an '05 MINI Cooper (base model), so that's where the sizing comes from. It's a 24"-ish OD on the MINI.

It's a little annoying that the Rack's system is only loaded with one recommended tire size per car/diameter, but they do give you the option of choosing your own size if you know better, so the fact that you know enough to criticize it indicates it's not actually a problem for you.

I criticize it because the 195/60/15 + 15x8,9 stretched look seems to dominate clubroadster, as if TR recommended this just for them.

They're going to be cheaper and most likely better looking.

Well they did. Anyone interested in a performance wheel would choose the lighter 6ul for another $200. It's a wheel made for poserfags looking for a hella mad tyte stance. These should be referred to as RIMZ.
