Looking to buy new 16"s, opinions???
 
Like it says. I got some heavy chrome 17"s on my 2000green miata. Im looking to go with 16s, preferably lighter, with a flat black color. I like the match in the dark green with the flat black. Gonna be looking around more right now but would like anyones input, thx in advance.

Never heard of 'em.

hornetball 10-28-2011 12:49 PM

Do 15's. Thank us later.

harmsway102205 10-28-2011 03:38 PM

yea i was thinking of sticking with the 15s. Cheaper and cheaper tires LOL.

hornetball 10-28-2011 04:27 PM

Much better performance too.

thirdgen 10-28-2011 06:30 PM

I'll sell you my 16's with my tires for cheap. Pm me for details...

Braineack 10-28-2011 06:48 PM

(Posting from my phone.)

16s are for assholes like me

thirdgen 10-28-2011 07:07 PM

You and I should start a 16" asshole wheel club. I really want nickel 15x9 6UL's with 225/45/15's. I would trade my asshole club membership and cash for 15x9 6UL's.

Braineack 10-28-2011 07:56 PM

I would too.

hornetball 10-29-2011 09:12 AM

You guys are not doing a good job of selling Todd's 16s.

Braineack 10-29-2011 10:18 AM

no one wants his Moentegi wheels from Sears. I almost bought those fro my altima in 1999.

thirdgen 10-29-2011 10:28 AM

They were on my car when I bought it. Why couldn't the person who had it before me that was the original owner and put 103,000 miles on my car put a quality wheel on it? I think they look good on my car though, but they weigh 20 lbs a wheel and they say Motegi. I think if you look up Motegi in the dictionary, the definition is something like, "motegi: noun, a wheel designed to be so cheap you can buy it with Access; a wheel for people who don't care about rotating mass."

Don't feel bad, my car has shitty Sears wheels too :(. I've got some stock wheels powder coated black that have been sitting in my room for 6 months waiting for new tires.

Boost Addict: your shit is fucking gay. deal with it

Doppelgänger 10-30-2011 10:45 AM

Yeah...17"s suck...just look at those 14lb boat anchors in my sigpic....

Hey Vlad...how did you manage to get a BRG 99?

thirdgen 10-30-2011 12:42 PM

It's probably Emerald green like mine, but in California Emerald Green is the same as British racing green.

Doppelgänger 10-30-2011 05:28 PM

Dammit Todd...I was going to troll him..and break his heart all in one fell swwoop. Thanks for fucking it up and getting all serious and shit...thanks a lot.

18psi 10-30-2011 05:41 PM

thirdgen 10-30-2011 06:17 PM

Lol, sorry Mike. FTI, the "in California Both greens are the same" was pure sarcasm.

Fuck you back....you blind pretentious ass....go figure in Soviet California you can't tell the difference between a metallic green and flag BRG :giggle:

I'd put a set of those on the green car if I could.

pusha 10-30-2011 08:42 PM

just redrill them

gearshifter6 11-20-2011 01:11 PM

Enkei RPF1's. Affordable, light, and strong.

atlnb 11-22-2011 08:33 PM

^+1 and they look good.

Kosei are good choices too. Only problem I see with 16s are the tire choices. Konig Feather 16x7s are alright looking too

johnT 12-22-2011 08:35 PM

My suggestion:
Rota RB-R´s 16x8 ET+4

johnT 12-23-2011 02:29 PM

Here the RB-R 16x8 ET+4

thirdgen 12-23-2011 03:24 PM

I really like those wheels, but at 16.5 lbs? Not sure if want.

I got rid of some weight when I went from the nasty chrome wheels to stockers, and the car does feel sharper. I would strongly suggest staying away from heavy wheels.
