For people like me! 245's are a bit wide on a 9", ideally should go on a 10", but that doesn't fit very well under a stock NA body (some people have made it work, but ehhh). I'd rather not go flares, so here we are! I'm going to get a set of the 9.5's.

Thanks for that!
Man. I know I'm biased but when I see the details on the new wheels with the new colors, I get really excited haha
The chamfers on the spokes
The fillet where the spokes go to the rim
The ball mill
The smooth step from lip to drop center, got rid of the radial line at the base of the spokes
Very very happy with how these came out.

Totally different. Beryllium was a gloss gray with a very cool (almost bluish) tone.
Beskar is a smoky gray with a lot of travel.
Beryllium was fine. Beskar is so much nicer. Lends a ton of depth and makes the wheel look more dynamic since it looks completely different depending on how the light hits each part of the wheel.

Introducing Spice
.. the finish formerly known as Bronze.
Bronze in the wheel industry is all over the place, some brown, some gold, some matte, some gloss, some flat, some metallic. The most common interpretation seems to be a matte brown metallic and what most enthusiasts think of when you call it bronze.
We envisioned something outside of the usual interpretation. It seemed appropriate to give it a unique name to match. Spice!
This is effectively our "bronze", we're just not calling it that.
In shade (second pic) it looks a bit more brown, but a very warm tone.
In direct sun it just pops. Note the metallic flakes visible through the satin gloss. We're stoked on this finish. Can't wait to see it on different color Miatas.
Open shade, a bit muted and dusky
Direct sunlight it pops
Charcoal - Beskar - Nickel - Spice

I posted this over in the ND wheel thread but uh, this one is more popular.
If y'all haven't seen yet, we've released a series of short videos on YouTube outlining all the changes we've made in the last 5 years with regards to wheel design and engineering, styling, features, etc. While each generation of 6UL has brought improvements over the prior generation, Gen 5 is a HUGE leap forward.
We still have a few more videos to make but this is a start!
