Was browsing 18racing.com and found this nice looking set of wheels. 15x9 et36 sounds very familiar. Nice lip too.

I've been eyeballing those too but I think they're just too heavy for me. They look great though for sure. Part of me wants to get them instead of 6ULs just so I dont look like every other miata with 6ULs but weight ultimately is more important to me.

 

Not bad. What do they weigh?

 

I am sure they are not light like 6ul. But they cost less.

 

14.6lbs... that's really not bad

 

for the 15x9? Not bad. Considering the tr3cm is 15.

 

Yeah every website and listing I've looked up lists 14.6-14.75 for 15x9. Pleasantly surprised.

Gotta admit, that is a good looking wheel.

Imma get me some 7's up front and 9's in the rear, holla at cha boi

 

Wow....really like these, I just want to see them fully mounted with tires.

 

+1

Nice wheels, although "seems" a little outdated and overly used, IMO.

 

Want. But I'd feel a bit strange selling SSRs and Brembo brakes to get Rota wheels. ******* sexy wheel though...beats the **** out of anything Sportfagg.

 

Are there any tire options for 9 inch wheels for those of us who are honest with ourselves and aren't racing gods, and would like more than 10K miles and a whole bunch of nails in our tires?

I'd like to try the dunlop star specs but I'm afraid 205/50/15 would look GAY on a 9" Other wise it's rs3's or some such that are really a waste of time and money on a car that goes to the grocery store every day and MAYBE a SMALL hand full of driving events a year.

 

Yeah Nice looking wheel.

I hope the rev8's look like this!!

 

Id stick with 15x8 with 205s then. No reason you cant run 225s on a 15x8 either.

BUt yeah, 225 tire selection is limited, you have the RS3s, R1Rs, and race rubber

Main reason I like these is the actual aesthetics and the weight

 

yeah... I just have an issue buying 8's when I COULD be buying 9's... all the drifters run 205/45 and it's hella gay, wondering if the taller sidewall will shallow out the stretch.

 

******* sick as hell.

Actually, no. They're not. Would be sick as hell if they were a 16 or 17" though.

I got excited for a minute.

My black 15x9 6ULs will stomp K7 face.

 

well i bought one just to see if it fit over my front brakes.

i put it on my home scale and it hit 13.0 lbs on the money.

someone already posted a picture of my car but i can post a few more. i am going to run a 205/50/15 i know stretch is gay but im hoping to find a wide 205 and get minimal stretch.

 

Do these clear the sport brakes?

 

those are the 9's? I'll be watching closely. I wanted to try the dunlop star specs as they are sticky as hell and supposedly last a touch longer than the other super sticky summer rubber. I have no idea if they are "skinny" or "wide" for a 205 though.

Doing some net surfing I've seen some 205's that looked pretty normal, and some that were... eww...
